Secretion of nerve growth factor by central nervous system glioma cells in culture

PMCID: PMC2111035  PMID: 838775

Abstract

Bacteriophage immunoassays, radioimmunoassays, and biological assays have been used to measure levels of NGF in media conditioned by rat C-6 glioma cells in culture. By all three criteria, these cells secrete a macromolecule which is indistinguishable from mouse submandibular gland NGF.
