Criteria for identifying a myelin-like fraction from developing brain (Short Communication)

Harish C Agrawal 1, John L Trotter 1, Raymond F Mitchell 1,*, Robert M Burton 1
PMCID: PMC1166064  PMID: 4362334

Abstract

Multiple criteria must be used to relate a membrane fraction (`myelin-like') to myelin. These reported in this communication are electron microscopy, marker enzymes, sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide-gel electrophoretic patterns and lipid composition.
