Abstract excerpt
We describe the isolation and characterization of an immortal cell line derived by infection of rat neural crest cells with a v-myc-containing replication-defective retrovirus. This clonal cell line, called NCM-1, contains a majority cell population with antigenic and morphologic properties that suggest it may represent a peripheral glial progenitor. In conditioned or in serum-free medium, these NGF...
