Factors involved in the stimulation of parasympathetic nerve outgrowth
Abstract
Nerve growth from the mouse parasympathetic submandibular ganglion is stimulated by the developing target epithelium. To investigate the nature of this trophic influence, homogenates of salivary glands, gland-conditioned medium, and formalin-fixed glands were assayed for ability to elicit parasympathetic axon extension in tissue culture. Neither homogenates nor conditioned medium stimulated axon outgrowth from submandibular ganglia. However, …
