We established a hybrid cell line which extended neurites in the prese
nce of nerve growth factor by fusion between adult mouse sensory neuro
ns and neuroblastoma C1300 cells using emetine and actinomycin D. The
serine-phosphorylated 200 and 160 kDa neurofilament proteins were dete
cted in the hybrid cells. In comparison, C1300 cells expressed both su
bunit of non-phosphorylated neurofilaments at serine residues. (C) 199
