Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) gene, such as that found in the jimpy mouse, result in an abnormal structure of the myelin, severe dysmyelination, and a reduction in the number of mature oligodendrocytes. To examine the functions of the two alternatively spliced isoforms of proteolipid protein, transgenic mice were generated that express either PLP or DM20 cDNAs placed under control of the PLP...
