Increased levels of IFs in specific regions of the nervous system.

(A) Western blots for IF and tubulin proteins reveal variations for NF-H, NF-M, NF-L, α-internexin, peripherin, vimentin and GFAP. (B) Western blot of sciatic nerve sections showed that NF proteins are more abundant in proximal than in distal sections in Gan^Δex1;Δex1 mice unlike normal mice(C) No variation of neurofilament mRNA levels was detected by RT-PCR.
