Lymphoid tissues induce NGF‐dependent and NGF‐independent neurite outgrowth from rat superior cervical ganglia explants in culture
Abstract
Induction of neurite outgrowth from superior cervical ganglia (SCG) by rat lymphoid tissues was studied using a tissue culture model. Neonatal rat SCG were cultured with 6-12-week-old rat thymus, spleen, or mesenteric lymph node (MLN) explants in a Matrigel layer, in defined culture medium without exogenous nerve growth factor (NGF). SCG were also co-cultured with neonatal rat heart (as positive control) or spinal cord (SC; as negative …
