title: Deposition of the myelin-associated glycoprotein in specific regions of the developing rat central nervous system.
abstract: In developing optic nerve and medulla of the rat, the concentration of the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) increases rapidly between 10 and 30 days of age to reach adult levels of 4.4 and 4.1 ng per micrograms total protein, respectively. The general shapes of the developmental curves for MAG and basic protein (BP) are similar, but the rapid accumulation of MAG progresses earlier than that of BP by about 3-6 days.
