A combined assay to measure neurite outgrowth and B-50/GAP-43 levels in PC12 cells is reported. During NGF-induced neuritogenesis, B-50/GAP-43 expression was monitored by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Neurite outgrowth was quantified at the same time by the use of video image analysis. Sensitivity and reliability of the methods are shown with a dose-response and time curve of beta-NGF-induced neuritogenesis. A linear increase in total length of neurites was induced by concentrations of beta-NGF greater than or equal to 5 ng/ml and was accompanied by a linear increase in the amount of B-50/GAP-43. The combined methods presented here can conveniently and reliably establish subtle changes in neurite outgrowth and intracellular protein contents.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
