Acetylcholinesterase regeneration in peripheral nerve after irreversible inactivation.
The return of acetylcholinesterase activity was studied in several cholinergic structures in the cat after irreversible inactivation by diisopropylfluoro-phosphate. It was found that enzymic activity returned uniformly along the hypoglossal and cervical sympathetic nerve trunks. No evidence for somatoaxonal convection of enzyme was obtained.
