Human nerve growth factor: Lack of immunocrossreactivity with mouse nerve growth factor
Life Sciences, 1980Abstract Human β-nerve growth factor (hNGF) was purified from term human placenta. The biological potency of hNGF in the chick dorsal root ganglion assay did not differ significantly from that of mouse NGF (mNGF). Molecular weight determinations of mNGF and hMGF were also similar.

Pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells have been found to differ from dorsal root ganglionic cells with respect to the modulation of the beta nerve growth factor (beta NGF) binding properties elicited by alpha NGF and gamma NGF. In contrast to our previous results with intact dorsal root ganglionic cells in which only high-affinity binding was blocked, alpha ...

Osteoarthritis, a common, painful condition, occurs at a rate of 1% per year and affects the majority of people who are over 55 years of age. In a proof-of-concept, phase 2 study in this issue of the Journal, Lane and colleagues1 report that blocking the activity of nerve growth factor with a neutralizing humanized monoclonal antibody (tanezumab) can ...

Nerve Growth Factor: Neurotrophin or Cytokine?
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2003Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neutrophin exerting an important role in the development and functions of the central and peripheral nervous system. However, it has recently been documented that several immune cells – such as mast cells, lymphocytes and eosinophils – produce, store and release NGF.

Tissue Localization of Nerve Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Receptors
1991The pioneering investigations of Levi-Montalcini and coworkers established that nerve growth factor (NGF) is an important physiological regulator of neurons of the peripheral nervous system. No doubt in part because of the dramatic and specific effects on the sympathetic and sensory nervous system resulting from immunochemically depriving rodents of ...

The nerve growth factor family
Progress in Growth Factor Research, 1990Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) are small, basic, secretory proteins that allow the survival of specific neuronal populations. In their biologically active form, after cleavage from their biosynthetic precursors, these three neurotrophic proteins, or neurotrophins, show about 50% amino acid ...

Nerve growth factor and the neostriatum
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 19911. The present review summarizes evidence describing the expression, immunoreactivity, binding, transport, development, aging, and functions of NGF in the mammalian neostriatum. 2. Neostriatal NGF binding sites and intrinsic cholinergic neurons are co-localized, increase at a similar rate during ontogeny, and are lost to an equal extent following age ...

Regulation of the Synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Receptor
1988The importance of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for the development and the maintenance of differentiated properties of peripheral sympathetic and neural crest- derived sensory neurons as well as for basal forebrain cholinergic neurons is well established (cf Levi-Montalcini & Angeletti, 1968; Greene & Shooter, 1980; Thoenen & Barde, 1980; Thoenen et al ...
