title: The distribution of 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) in the CNS of normal (+/+) and shiverer (Shi/Shi) mice.
abstract: Immunohistochemical techniques were utilized to localize the putative myelin enzyme 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) in the central nervous system (CNS) of normal (+/+) and Shiverer (Shi/Shi) mice (Mus musculus). CNP appeared to be only associated with myelinated nerve fibers in the CNS (corpus callosum, subcortical white matter, caudate nucleus, cerebellum and medulla oblongata) of +/+ mice. However, little or no immunostaining was observed in the same regions of the CNS of Shi/Shi mice, although these mice have normal levels of a CNS CNP activity. Unexpectedly, oligodendrocytes (cell periphery) were not stained for CNP in either +/+ or Shi/Shi mice, although erythrocytes were immunostained.
