The biological effects of endogenous nerve growth factor on adult sensory neurons revealed by a trkA-IgG fusion molecule.
Evidence suggests that nerve growth factor (NGF) may function as a mediator of some persistent pain states. We have used a synthetic protein, trkA-IgG, to sequester endogenous NGF and block the survival effects of NGF on cultured sensory neurons. We show that administration of trkA-IgG produces a su...
