  • CILIARY neurotrophic factor (CNTF) was originally characterized as a survival factor for chick ciliary neurons in vitro. More recently, it was shown to promote the survival of a variety of otherneuronal cell types and to affect the differentiation of E7 chick sympathetic neurons by inhibiting their proliferation and by inducing the expression of yasoactiYe intestinal peptide immunoreactiyity (VIP-IR). In cultures of dissociated sympathetic neurons from newborn rats, CNTF induces cholinergic differentiation as shown by increased levels ofCILIARY neurotrophic factor (CNTF) was originally characterized as a survival factor for chick ciliary neurons in vitro.
