ABSTRACT:
A novel neurotrophic factor referred to as glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been identified and isolated from serum free growth medium of B49 glioblastoma cells. Rat and human genes encoding GDNF have been cloned and sequenced. A gene encoding GDNF has been subcloned into a vector, and the vector has been used to transform a host cell in order to produce biologically active GDNF in a recombinant DNA process. An implantable device containing recombinant GDNF secreting cells encapsulated in a semipermeable membrane may be used to treat nerve damage in patients suffering from disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
