Expression of myelin proteins in oligodendrocytes from post-natal day 7 to adult.
DM20/PLP is a gene-splice variant of PLP that is first expressed on the surface of multi-branched NG2-negative oligodendrocytes. The earliest cells expressing this represent an interim stage between NG2-positive OPC and fully differentiated oligodendrocytes. MOG: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein; OPC: oligodendrocyte progenitor cell; PLP: proteolipid protein.
