Objectives
To study the biochemical and biological characterization of the purified 30KD neuronotrophic factor specific for retinal ganglion cells (NTF), the development and application of its monoclonal antibodies, the isolation of its receptor and its distribution, the molecular gene cloning of this neuronotrophic factor, and the clinical application of the neuronotrophic factor and its monoclonal antibodies.
