Study of retrograde axonal transport of ~ 125 I-Schwann cell derived neurotrophic factor by motor neurons / 中华显微外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the retrograde axonal transport of Schwann cell derived neurotrophic factor(SDNF)by motor neurons Methods SDNF was labeled with Chloramine T, 125 I SDNF and 100 fold excess of unlabelled SDNF was injected into the right hindlegs of neonatal rats separately The spinal cords was removed for counting in a  counter Results The radioactive level of experimental side was more than contralateral side The transport was blocked by 100 fold excess of unlabelled SDNF Conclusion SDNF was transported retrogradely by spinal motor neurons
