Abstract:The localization and distribution o[ nGF, bFGF and their receptors in the developing neural tube of hamster embryo from 8 to 12 days after fertilization were examined with immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy. The results show that nGF, bFGF and their receptors are expressed in different period of development. The bFGF immunoreactire cells and structure occur on the day 8. NGF immunoreactive cells appear on the day 9. Both NGF and bFGF immunoreactive granules are located in cytoplasm, inner limited membrane and basement memberane of the neural tube, notochord and spinal ganglion. In addition, the bFGF immunoreactivity is also observed in nucleus. The gold-labelling granules of FGF receptor appear on the day 8, but very little in number. nGFR(TrkA) appear on the day 9 and they are located in cell membrane, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear membrane and nucleoplasm. The density of gold labelling granules increase gradually as the neural tube developes.
