Prevention by nerve growth factor (NGF) of apoptotic death in
neural cells has been variously ascribed to binding of NGF to its
low-affinity (p75) or high-affinity (trkA) receptor or to a cooperative
interaction between the two. In a series of studies using, in turn,
neuroblastoma cell lines that express only p75, mutant NGF species that
bind selectively to either p75 or trkA, and a polyclonal antibody that
binds to the NGF-binding domain of p75, we demonstrate that NGF binding
to p75 is both necessary and sufficient for the abrogation of apoptosis
in neuroblastoma cells treated with antimitotic agents.
