Table 6.

Frequency of collaterals formed along axons is not decreased by raising neurons in 7 nm taxol or 83 nm nocodazole

Treatment Collaterals per 100 μm of axon (length in μm)
<10 11–20 20–30 >30
DMSO (6) 1.60  ± 0.2 0.36  ± 0.1 0.10  ± 0.02 0.17  ± 0.03
Taxol (7 nm) (6) 4.45  ± 0.66-a 0.53  ± 0.1 0.11  ± 0.03 0.13  ± 0.03
Nocodazole (83 nm) (6) 4.61  ± 0.66-a 1.19  ± 0.2 0.30  ± 0.08 0.33  ± 0.10

Data were collected from six separate cultures from a total minimum of 100 neurons per treatment condition. Data was analyzed using an ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparison post hoc tests. Only axonal filopodia (<10 μm long) were found to differ between taxol- or nocodazole-treated neurons and DMSO controls. Mean + SEM is shown.
