    Differential activation of myotube nuclei following exposure to an acetylcholine receptor-inducing factor

    A glycoprotein purified from chick brain, of relative molecular mass 42,000, increases the rate of appearance of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) on the surface of chick myotubes1. RNase protection assays have sho...
