Opioids influence neurotransmitter phenotypic expression in chick embryonic neuronal cultures.

Abstract excerpt

There is considerable interest in the role of endogenous opioid peptides in neural growth and differentiation. In this study we used neuron-enriched cultures derived from 3-day-old chick embryos to test the effects of endogenous enkephalins on neurotransmitter phenotypic expression. Cultures were grown in serum-free chemically defined medium and were treated with either Met-enkephalin antiserum (anti-Met) to...
