Midkine (MK) is the product of a retinoic acid responsive gene and is a member of a new family of heparin-binding growth factors. Neurotrophic effects of MK were examined using cultured spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons derived from fetal mouse. MK, which was added to the culture me
An increase in neurotrophic activity for the survival of dissociated sensory neurones has been found in the spinal cord of morphine dependent rats. This activity is not due to morphine itself and is not due to an increase in the nerve growth factor as antibodies to nerve growth factor fail to block
Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons express receptors for bradykinin and capsaicin, both algesic substances. Administration of bradykinin or capsaicin to neurons cultured from embryonic rat DRG stimulated the production of cyclic GMP but did not affect the production of cyclic GMP in nonneuronal DRG
The imrnunohistochemical distribution of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), being normally restricted to nerve cell bodies and dendrites, became altered in rat dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord neurons in cultures infected with rhesus rotavirus. MAP2 appeared in axons of both sources of neur
