Abstract excerpt
To determine the role of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in sympathetic neuron development, we crossed transgenic mice with mutations in p75NTR, nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3). Neuron number is normal in sympathetic ganglia of adult p75NTR-/- mice. Mice heterozygous for a NGF deletion (NGF+/-) have 50% fewer sympathetic neurons. In the absence of p75NTR (p75NTR-/- NGF+/-), however,...
