Nerve growth factor (NGF) was the first such factor to be characterized (LEVI MONTALCINI and HAMBURGER 1953) and has served as the model against which all similar factors are compared. These include: three structurally related factors, NGF itself (SCOTT et al. acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors (aFGF, bFGF) (ABRAHAM et al.
