To understand IGF-I's function during cerebellar development, we examined the involvement of IGF-I in the premature apoptosis of granule neurons derived from the cerebella of weaver (wv) mutant mice.
To delineate the interaction between IGF-I and IGFBP5 on wv granule neurons, we examined neuronal survival after treating with IGF-I, des(1-3) IGF-I, or IGFBP5 antibody.
