Comparisons have been made of myelinogenic activities in fetal rat brain mixed primary cultures and cultures of isolated oligodendrocytes of comparable age. The specific activities of the sulfatide synthesis, 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase (2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase, EC 3.1.4.37), and accumulation of myelin basic protein, when expressed per mg of protein, were as...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the presence and specificity of anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody in the cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). DESIGN Case-control study of patients with clinically definite MS compared with patients with other neurologic diseases (ONDs) of the central nervous system and control subjects. SETTING Referral center ...

The effects of pH titration on the ESR spectra of 5-(4,4-dimethyioxazolidine-N-oxyl) stearic acid in bilayers of dimyristoyi phosphatidylglyceroi complexed with either myelin basic protein, apocytochrome c, cytochrome c or lysozyme have been studied. Binding of the protein increases the outer hyperfine splitting of the stearic acid spin label to an extent which depends on the protonation state ...

We provide formulas for the Weyl-Kac denominator and superdenominator of a basic classical Lie superalgebra for a distinguished set of positive roots. Résumé. Nous donnons les formules pour les dénominateurs et super-dénominateurs de Weyl-Kac d’une superalgèbre de Lie basique classique pour un ensemble distingué de racines positives.
