The process of the retrograde transport of nerve growth factor (NGF) has been recharacterized using a high specific activity preparation of[125I]NGF. Most of the general conclusions reached in the previous studies of Hendry, Thoenen and co-workers have been confirmed. However, significant quantitati...
