TLDR
Observations suggest that MAG participates in the formation of the periaxonal cytoplasmic collar of oligodendrocytes and in the recognition between oligodendedrocyte processes and axons.

Biology of Oligodendrocyte and Myelin in the Mammalian Central Nervous System

TL;DR: This review deals with the recent progress related to the origin and differentiation of the oligodendrocytes, their relationships to other neural cells, and functional neuroglial interactions under physiological conditions and in demyelinating diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel role for myelin-associated glycoprotein as an inhibitor of axonal regeneration

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), a transmembrane protein of both CNS and PNS myelin, strongly inhibits neurite outgrowth from both developing cerebellar and adult dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in vitro and is reversed by an anti-MAG antibody.
Journal ArticleDOI

White matter changes in schizophrenia: evidence for myelin-related dysfunction.

TL;DR: Support for the hypothesis that oligodendroglial dysfunction and even death, with subsequent abnormalities in myelin maintenance and repair, contribute to the schizophrenic syndrome is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myelin-associated glycoprotein interacts with the Nogo66 receptor to inhibit neurite outgrowth.

TL;DR: It is shown that MAG inhibits regeneration by interaction with NgR, a GPI-linked receptor for Nogo (NgR) that has been identified, and suggests redundancy in myelin inhibitors and indicate therapies for CNS injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Axon-Glial Signaling and the Glial Support of Axon Function

TL;DR: Mutations in the mouse reveal that axonal support by oligodendrocytes is independent of myelin assembly, suggesting that loss of glial support causes progressive axon degeneration and possibly local inflammation, both of which are likely to contribute to a variety of neuronal diseases in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Cleavage of Structural Proteins during the Assembly of the Head of Bacteriophage T4

TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products.
Journal ArticleDOI

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding

TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

Cleavage of structural proteins during the assemble of the head of bacterio-phage T4

U. K. Laemmli
- 01 Jan 1970 - 
TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products as mentioned in this paper.

Electrophoretic transfer of proteins from polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose sheets: procedure and some applications.

TL;DR: A method has been devised for the electrophoretic transfer of proteins from polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose sheets that results in quantitative transfer of ribosomal proteins from gels containing urea.
