摘要
Abstract– Embryonic sensory neurons have an absolute requirement for the nerve growth factor to survive and grow fibers, at least in vitro. We have now shown that the inorganic cations, magnesium and potassium are also necessary for the survival of these cells. On the other hand, calcium is not needed for the survival of the sensory neurons, but is needed for the neurons to grow fibers. Therefore, by changing the concentration of calcium ions in the culture medium it is possible to separate the two actions (survival and fiber outgrowth) of the nerve growth factor on sensory neurons.
