Synapse and acetylcholine receptor synthesis by neurons dissociated from retina.
Neurons dissociated from chick embryo retina and cultured from more than 1 x 10(8) synapses per mg of protein. At least three types of synapses are synthesized which resemble those of the intact retina. In addition, two populations of neurons were found, those with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and those without the receptors.
