title: Immunization with purified myelin-associated glycoprotein does not evoke myelination-inhibiting or demyelinating antibodies.
abstract: Antisera produced in rabbits against purified myelin-associated glycoprotein did not inhibit myelin formation in cerebellar tissue cultures or demyelinate centrally or peripherally myelinated fibers in spinal cord-dorsal root ganglia cultures. These results suggest that antibodies directed against other myelin components are responsible for the myelination-inhibition and demyelination produced by anti-central nervous system (CNS) and anti-myelin antisera in vitro.
