Immunohistochemical localization of the myelin basic protein and of the glial fibrillary acidic protein: comparative study in normal, quaking and jimpy mice
Abstract
The topographical distribution of myelin basic protein (MBP) and of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA) have been compared in the CNS of 18-day-old normal, quaking, and jimpy mice using indirect immunofluorescence. Comparison was made in brain and spinal cord sections. MBP was strongly decreased in quaking and jimpy mice in all parts of the CNS. A pronounced gliosis was observed in jimpy mice with occurrence of numerous hypertrophied astrocytes. To a lesser extent, an astrocytic reaction was also observed in quaking CNS.
