Time course of the experiments. Mice that were double transgenic for the NG2 Cre construct and the mT/mG reporter construct were fed with 0.2% cuprizone for 5 weeks. After this period remyelination was allowed for either 1 or 5 weeks. At week 3 after induction of demyelination by cuprizone, expression of membrane‐bound GFP in oligodendrocyte lineage cells was initiated by tamoxifen injection in all animals (cuprizone‐treated animals as well as age matched controls). Tissue was analyzed at indicated time points.
