Mice lacking neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) have been shown previously to be born with severe sensory deficits. This study characterizes the developmental course of this deficit in the trigeminal sensory ganglion, which in NT-3 homozygous mutants contains only 35% of the normal number of neurons at birth. At embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5), normal numbers of neurons, as assessed by expression of neurofilament protein and of...
