Abstract excerpt
Polyclonal antibodies against recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) potently inhibited PC12 neurite outgrowth, blocked high-affinity 125I-rhNGF binding but not its receptor, and cross-reacted with rat, mouse, and human nerve growth factor (NGF) but not with brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin-3, ciliary neurotrophic factor, insulin-like growth factor, epidermal growth factor, or activin A....
