Mice expressing three of the proteolipid protein (Plp) mutations in the mouse (jimpy, jimpy-msd, and jimpy-4J) all have a severe deficiency of CNS myelin and oligodendrocytes (OLs), and die sometime in their 4th postnatal week. The prevailing view has been that the animals' shortened life span and lack of myelin are causally related. Here we describe the survival of jimpy-msd males for as long as postnatal day...
