Loss of Myelin Basic Protein Function Triggers Myelin Breakdown in Models of Demyelinating Diseases

Breakdown of myelin sheaths is a pathological hallmark of several autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. We employed autoantibody-mediated animal models of demyelinating diseases, including a rat model of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), to target myelin and found that myelin lamellae are broken down...
