Sensitivity of spinal cords from chick embroys in culture to organic mercury compounds: comparison with dorasal root ganglia.

The lowest doses for total inhibition of MMC, EMC, EMP, and PMC on spinal cords from chick embryos in tissue culture were 2.5, 1, 5, and 2.5 times 10-6 M, respectively. From these results, it was presumed that spinal cord was more sensitive than dorsal root ganglion to these organic mercury compounds.
