CNTF is superior to NGF as a survival enhancement factor for adrenal medulla cells in vitro
Abstract
The effects of recombinant ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) on chromaffin cells of the postnatal rat adrenal medulla were investigated and compared with recombinant nerve growth factor (NGF). Adrenal medulla cells were cultured in serum-free media and the survival was assessed by tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry after 4 days in vitro. While both recombinant NGF and CNTF enhanced the survival and differentiation of chromaffin cells, …
