Components of leech (Hirudo medicinalis) salivary gland secretion (high molecular mass bdelin B, bdellastasin, eglin C, destabilize) were used to investigate their neurotrophic effect on organotypic culture of dorsal root ganglia of the 10-11-day old chicken embryos. Destabilize and high molecular mass bdelin B in concentrations of 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and 0.1 ng/ml, bdellastasin in concentrations of 0.02 and 0.05 ng/ml, eglin C in concentrations of 0.1 ng/ml exhibit neurite-stimulating effect as compared to the control.
