title: Clarification of PC12 cell growth inhibition by a sialoglycopeptide from bovine brain under low serum condition.
abstract: To study the effect of a bovine brain sialoglycopeptide (SGP) on the nerve cell growth, PC12 cells were used as a model system. Though the inhibition of cell growth, measured by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) 2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, by SGP was slight under the serum concentration of 10%, it was clearly detected under that of 1 to 2%. For the preparation of SGP, filtration through a nitrocellulose membrane was useful.
