Table 2. Neurite outgrowth of NT2 cells treated with 10 μM retinoic acid.

Norm	Control	hFRMD7-S	hFRMD7-FL
Percentage of cells with neurites*	46.2±2.1	47.5±1.3 (ns)	77.8±1.6
Average neurite length** (μm)	42.7±2.6	43.6±2.1 (ns)	72.3±1.1

Cells were treated with 10 μm retinoic acid, 10% FCS/DMEM-F12 for 5 days, and neurite parameters were quantified. Data are mean±SEM of three independent experiments. At least 250 cells per transfection were counted. *Cells that possess at least one outgrowth of more than one-half the cell body diameter in length. **Neurite length from cell body to distal tip. (ns) stands for Not Significant.
