Monoclonal antibodies to nerve growth factor affect the postnatal development of the visual system.

Exogenous supply of nerve growth factor (NGF) prevents the effects of monocular deprivation. This suggests that visual afferents may be competing for an endogenous neurotrophic factor, related to NGF, whose production by postsynaptic cells depends on the activity of afferent fibers. To test the hypo...
