Abstract excerpt
Mice heterozygously deficient for myelin protein zero (P0) mimicking human Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease 1B show T-lymphocyte and macrophage upregulation in peripheral nerves, which aggravates and modulates the genetically mediated demyelinating neuropathy. In connexin32 (cx32)-deficient (cx32(def)) mice, which mimic the X-linked dominant form of CMT (CMTX), T-lymphocyte and macrophage numbers are also...
