| Abstract: | The distribution of isotope in the sciatic nerve was determined at times up to 22 days after injection of (a) [14C]leucine, or (b) [3H]orotic acid, in the spinal cord of the chicken. The results indicate a distal flow of proteins, RNA precursors and perhaps RNA along the nerve axon. |
