Dysmyelination in the CNS of shiverer mutant mice was studied in vivo and in vitro. By immunohistochemical reaction with glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody, hypertrophy of the fibrous astrocytes was observed in the white matter of shiverer cerebella. The cerebella of shiverer mice in primary culture from the day of birth showed very poor myelination under optical microscopy. Axons of Purkinje cells are thought to be the main myelinated axons in the primary culture of the cerebellum. Purkinje cells from shiverer appeared normal with regard to Bodian Ag impregnation, hematoxylin and eosin staining and P400 protein characterization of Purkinje cells. Addition of the conditioned culture medium of shiverer to the control culture did not interfere with myelination. The dysmyelination in the CNS of shiverer could be caused by an intrinsic defect of the oligodendrocyte rather than by hypertrophy of the astrocytes or by diffusible factors.
