Abstract excerpt
The twitcher mouse is an authentic murine model of a genetic demyelinating disease globoid cell leukodystrophy. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in twitcher mice resulted in the clinicopathological improvement. Thus, using green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice as the donor, we investigated the behavior and fate of the donor cells and the possibility of transdifferentiation of the donor cells...
