Normalized, cumulative histograms (bin size 50 m) compare the lengths of neurites after 42 hours in LIF (closed triangles), BMP4 (closed squares) and LIF+BMP4 (closed circles) cultures. All cultures contain BDNF, NT3 and serum. BMP4 inclusion inhibits the lengths of neurites even in the presence of LIF. A) Comparison of the longer neurites of bipolar neurons, F1. B) Comparison of the shorter neurites of bipolar neurons F2. C) Comparison of the neurites from monopolar neurons. In all conditions, the populations of nerve fibers in LIF+BMP4 cultures are similar in length distributions to those in BMP4 cultures and shorter than those LIF cultures. Numbers represent the averages ± SEM of normalized, cumulative histograms from 3 experiments, 2–3 wells analyzed per condition in each experiment. Points in the graph are connected for clarity. Refer to Table I for the numbers of neurites counted.
