Neutron diffraction from Cldn11-null myelin reveals subtle changes in myelin structure. (A) Representative neutron diffraction patterns collected from spinal cords from control and Cldn11-null mice in either 100% or 43% D₂O-saline. Scattering intensity is plotted against reciprocal coordinate R (1/d; Å⁻¹). Bragg orders are indicated with numerals above the reflections. (B) Comparison of relative intensities of neutron reflections between spinal cords from control and Cldn11-null mice in 100% or 43% D₂O-saline. Symbols represent average relative intensities (I_h/I₂) of Bragg order h ±1 standard deviation. Statistical significance was calculated using a t-test between average parameters measured from control (+/±; n = 3) and Cldn11-null (−/−; n = 3) mice. To see this figure in color, go online.
