Antisera to an axolemma-enriched fraction inhibit neurite outgrowth and destroy axons in vitro.
Antisera prepared to an axolemma-enriched fraction derived from rat brain inhibited neurite outgrowth and destroyed mature axons in spinal cord-dorsal root ganglia cultures. Similar antibody-mediated anti-axon effects may be important in some diseases of the human nervous system.
