Evidence of axonal migration was sought in nerves of rats and mice sacrificed at intervals up to 16 days after single or multiple injections of labelled amino acids (methionine-S35, leucine- or arginine-H3). Sections of brain, spinal cord, semilunar ganglion and sciatic nerve were radioautographed. Within minutes after injection, a radioautographic reaction appears over the nucleus and perikaryon, but not over the axon hillock or the axon proper of central and ganglionic neurons. It is concluded that protein is synthesized continuously in the nucleus and perikaryon of neurons. Analysis of the decay of radioactivity in the perikaryon suggests proteins of two catagories are synthesized, a slowly turning over protein, persumably catabolized in the perikaryon, and a rapidly turning over protein presumed to migrate into cell processes. Shortly after their appearance in the perikaryon, the labelled proteins can be found in the axon hillock, and later in the axon. Thus, proteins migrate from the motor neurons and cord into sciatic nerve axons. One day after injection, the labelled protein is in the axons as they cross the white matter and enter the ventral root, at two days well in the ventral root, at four days at the junction of the L5 and L6 roots of the lumbar plexus, and at 16 days about 20 mm more distal in file sciatic nerve. The migration rate is the order of 1.5 mm and 0.8 mm per day in young and adult rats respectively.
