## Abstract Axotomy of nerve fibers leads to the subsequent degeneration of their distal part, a process termed Wallerian degeneration (WD). While WD in the peripheral nervous system is usually followed by regeneration of the lesioned axons, central nervous system (CNS) neurons are generally unable
Four human myelin basic protein (MBP) variants with molecular masses of 21.5, 20.2, 18.5, and 17.3 kilodaltons (kDa) have been identified in the developing human spinal cord and their structures determined through an analysis of cDNA clones of their mRNAs. The 20.2-kDa MBP mRNA encoded a novel MBP v
## Chemokine gene expression and chemokine activity appear to be major components of the immunopathological processes of inflammation and autoimmunity. To initiate an investigation of the role of chemokines in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammatory demyelination, we examined the expression of
A full-length clone for the human proteolipid protein (PLP) was isolated from a cDNA library constructed from poly(A)+ RNA isolated from fetal spinal cords obtained at 15-24 weeks of conceptional age. The sequence of the human PLP cDNA was determined, and the deduced amino acid sequence was found to
