J Siigur, and U Arumäe, and T Neuman, and M Samel, and E Siigur, and M Saarma

Nerve growth factor from Vipera berus berus venom was purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 (superfine), ion-exchange-chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and chromatofocusing on PBE 118. The Vipera berus berus venom NGF consists of multiple molecular forms with pls in the interval 9.1-9.7. All isoforms have identical mol. wts approximately 35,000 +/- 3000 (in gel filtration) and 17,000 +/- 2000, 15,000 +/- 2000 (by SDS electrophoresis with beta-mercaptethanol). V. berus berus venom NGF reacted with monoclonal antibodies against Viper lebetina NGF and caused differentiation of pheochromocytoma PC12 cells.

D002642	Chick Embryo	The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching.	Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick

D014757	Viper Venoms	Venoms from SNAKES of the viperid family. They tend to be less toxic than elapid or hydrophid venoms and act mainly on the vascular system, interfering with coagulation and capillary membrane integrity and are highly cytotoxic. They contain large amounts of several enzymes, other factors, and some toxins.
