title: Myelinating Cultures: An In Vitro Tool to Identify Demyelinating and Axopathic Autoantibodies.
abstract: Myelinating cultures derived from embryonic spinal cord provide an invaluable tool to detect demyelinating and axopathic autoantibodies in clinical samples. A single preparation will provide a minimum of 200 individual cultures allowing 60 or more samples to be assayed in triplicate.
