title: Immunohistochemical studies of Wolfgram proteins in central nervous system of neurological mutant mice.
abstract: Immunohistochemical localization of Wolfgram proteins has been studied by the indirect immunoperoxidase technique with Wolfgram protein W1 antibodies in the nervous system of myelin deficient mutant mice: Jimpy, MSD and Quaking. In all these mutants, the myelinated fibers and the oligodendroglial cells (few in number) in the corpus callosum and the white matter of the cerebellum folium show a positive reaction to protein W1. These observations are in accordance with the immunological studies showing that the two major Wolfgram proteins, W1 and W2, of mutant mice have immunological similarities with that of the controls.
