The myelin-deficient mutant Shiverer (Shi/Shi) lacks basic protein (MBP) in the myelin of its central nervous system (CNS). Less than 3% of the normal content in MBP is present in a brain extract of Shi/Shi as determined by radioimmunoassay. Indirect immunofluorescence is negative when using specific anti-MBP serum. The importance of Shi/Shi (as compared to other hypomelinating mutants) stems from the specificity of this genetic lesion, i.e. the lack of basic protein.
髓磷脂缺陷型突变体颤抖小鼠(Shi/Shi)中枢神经系统(CNS)的髓磷脂中缺乏碱性蛋白(MBP)。通过放射免疫测定法测定,Shi/Shi脑提取物中的MBP含量不到正常含量的3%。使用特异性抗MBP血清时,间接免疫荧光呈阴性。Shi/Shi(与其他髓鞘形成减少的突变体相比)的重要性源于这种基因损伤的特异性,即缺乏碱性蛋白。
