The growth of new processes from isolated dorsal and sympathetic cell bodies of rat and rabbit.
The ganglia were dissected out from very young and adult rats and rabbits, and the cells liberated by teasing. After two weeks incubation at 37 degrees in 199 medium, 29% to 57% of isolated cells had fine filiform processes. On addition of 10u/ml of Nerve Growth Factor 10% to 23% more had such processes. Heated control cells did not.
