Abstract
alpha-Bungarotoxin (alpha BTX) administration in ovo prevents motoneur on apoptosis during development. This process may be mediated by alpha BTX-sensitive nicotinic cholinoceptors in the spinal cord, at the neu romuscular junction or at both sites. In order to differentiate betwee n these possibilities, neuronal bungarotoxin binding (NBTX) binding to embryonic muscle and spinal cord was investigated in the chick.
