Abstract excerpt
Recombinant rat CNTF (ciliary neurotrophic factor) at picomolar concentration prevents the death of P19 murine embryonic carcinoma cells that usually follows upon withdrawal of serum from the culture medium. For prolonged survival of P19 cells in serum-free medium, insulin must also be present. In the presence or absence of serum, CNTF stimulates the differentiation of P19 cells, inducing the formation of...
