Anionic sites in the myelin sheath as shown by cationized ferritin

Acta histochemica

Abstract

The distribution of anionic sites in the myelin sheath of sciatic nerves of rabbits was studied using cationized ferritin. Ferritin molecules were observed on the cytoplasmic sides of the myelin lamellae stratified in paranodes and Schmidt-Lanterman clefts. In the compact myelin, ferritin molecules have not been found in the tissue sections. They have been observed on membranes of the myelin fraction. The significance of the localization of negatively charged groups on the cytoplasmic side of membranes is discussed.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected.
