FIGURE 2: — Deletion of Tyro3 leads to decreased myelin thickness in mice. (A) Electron microscopic photographs of 3-d-old Tyro3^+/+ and Tyro3^−/− mouse sciatic nerves (n = 101 and 100, respectively). Scale bar, 1 μm. (B) The g ratio—the numerical ratio between the diameter of the axon and the outer diameter of the myelinated fiber—plotted vs. axon diameter. The average g ratio is also given. (C) The data from 3-d-old mice in the form of the relative distribution of the g ratio. (D) Electron microscopic photographs of 2-mo-old Tyro3^+/+ and Tyro3^−/− mouse sciatic nerves (n = 90 and 93, respectively). Scale bar, 1 μm. (E) The g ratio vs. axon diameter for these mice. The average g ratio is also given. (F) The relative distribution of the g ratio for these mice.
