The molecular size and stability of the nerve growth factor (NGF) secreted in culture by L cells have been studied by sedimentation and gel filtration chromatography. Results indicate that L cell NGF has a molecular weight of 160,000. It contains as part of its structure a protein component that is biologically, immunologically, and electrophoretically indistinguishable from the biologically active factor purified from mouse submandibular glands. However, unlike pure gland NGF, L cell NGF is highly stable in solution, and this finding indicates that L cell NGF is a form of the factor different from that previously described.
通过沉降和凝胶过滤色谱法研究了L细胞在培养物中分泌的神经生长因子(NGF)的分子大小和稳定性。结果表明,L细胞NGF的分子量为160,000。其结构的一部分包含一种蛋白质成分,该成分在生物学、免疫学和电泳方面与从小鼠下颌下腺纯化的生物活性因子无法区分。然而,与纯腺体NGF不同,L细胞NGF在溶液中高度稳定,这一发现表明L细胞NGF是一种与先前描述的因子不同的形式。
