Loose wraps in the NFL lack myelin basic protein. Staining retinal sections through the optic nerve head demonstrates that the optic nerve is positive for myelin basic protein (MBP) but this reactivity decreases in the optic nerve head and is absent in the NFL. The high magnification images on the right show that the MBP immunoreactivity is homogeneous in the optic nerve (top) but discontinuous and punctate in the transition zone to the NFL. Scale bar 100 μm for the overview image, and 10 μm for the high power images.
