Brain basic fibroblast growth factor stimulates the proliferation of rat neuronal precursor cells in vitro

Gensburger, Claire, Labourdette, Gérard, Sensenbrenner, Monique·1987·FEBS Letters

Abstract

Neuronal cells from cerebral hemispheres of 13‐day‐old rat embryos were grown in a serum‐free culture medium for 48 h, 4 or 8 days. The neuronal precursor cells proliferate for 5 days. The addition of bovine brain basic fibroblast growth factor stimulates their proliferation as determined by measurement of [121 I]‐iododeoxyuridine incorporation and by autoradiographic analysis after [3 H]thymidine incorporation. The proliferating responsive cells were characterized as neurons by immunostaining against neurofilament proteins. Five other growth factors tested were without effect on the proliferative activity of these neuronal cells. The present results show that bFGF is mitogenic in vitro for rat neuronal precursor cells of the central nervous system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
