[The separation and detection of the bioactive proteins in nerve regeneration conditioned fluids].
OBJECTIVE
To understand the biological activities of the nerve regeneration conditioned fluid (NRCF).


METHODS
Nerve regeneration chamber was made by using silicone tube bridging distal and proximal ends of severed SD rat's sciatic nerve. The biological activities of the proteins in NRCF, which were separated by natural polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), were analysed by being cocultured with excised neonatal dorsal root ganglia (DRG).


RESULTS
Eight separated protein bands of NRCF were observed between 67-669 ku in molecular weight, and the protein bands between 232-440 ku showed strong neurotrophic and chemotactic function.


CONCLUSIONS
NRCF has the promoting effects on nerve regeneration.
