Secretion of a nerve growth factor by mouse neuroblastoma cells in culture
Abstract
Analyses of supernatant solutions from mouse C1300 neuroblastoma cultures by two independent immunoassays reveal that these cells secrete a factor which is immunochemically similar to mouse submaxillary gland nerve growth factor. The neuroblastoma factor is also biologically active in inducing neurite outgrowth from embryonic sensory ganglia-an effect that is completely blocked by specific antibody to nerve growth factor. Neuroblastoma cells are known to be functionally responsive to nerve growth factor, and the observation that they secrete a molecule like it may mean that these cells require or utilize the factor during growth in culture.
