Tubulin synthesis in the regenerating rat superior cervical ganglion: a biphasic response.
Axotomy of a major cranial post ganglionic branch of the superior cervical ganglion of an adult rat resulted in increased radiolabeling of tubulin and microtubule-associated proteins after an in vitro 5-h incubation with [14C]-methionine. The increased incorporation of the radiolabel began at day 1 postoperatively and exhibited a biphasic response, peaking at days 3 and 8.
