Abstract:Abstract— Guanyl cyclase activity was studied in dissociated chick embryo brain cell cultures presenting different ratios of neuronal to glial elements. The cultures containing neurons in substantial numbers always had higher guanyl cyclase activities than those consisting mainly of glial cells. No guanyl cyclase activity could be found in cultures made up of pure glial or meningeal cells. These results provide further evidence for our conclusion based on subcellular fractionation studies (G oridis & M organ , 1973), that brain guanyl cyclase might be overwhelmingly concentrated in neurons. Guanyl cyclase activity of chick embryo cerebral hemispheres increased sixfold between day 12 and day 16 after fertilization; an increase, though of much smaller magnitude, was also seen in cultured cells of the same age.
