Three polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of 37 kDa (p<em>I</em> 4.7–4.8), 78 kDa (p<em>I</em> 4.7) and 138 kDa (p<em>I</em> 4.6–4.7) were found to be always synthesized in all three types of stimulation, while the synthesis of a fourth one (molecular mass 116 kDa, p<em>I</em> 4.7) was arrested during oocyte maturation. Moreover, when the follicular cells surrounding the oocytes were part of the stimulating pathway, which is the case during hCG-induced maturation, an additional polypeptide was synthesized by the oocytes (molecular mass 106 kDa, p<em>I</em> 6.0–6.2).

The level of δ-crystallin (lens marker) production in such cultures increases with the concentration of extract. Using extracts from earlier and later stages of retinal development, there is an age-dependent decline in the extent to which transdifferentiation is stimulated. However, such extracts have little effect on the activity of CAT, a neuronal marker enzyme. These effects are most probably mediated by growth factors present in the retinal extract acting upon Müller glial cells or their precursors in the NR cultures.
