O4+/A007+GalC- proligodendroblasts represent a distinct stage of development in the oligodendrocyte lineage, occurring just prior to the appearance of postmitotic GalC+ oligodendrocytes. These cells, isolated directly from postnatal rat telencephalon by an immunopanning procedure, can terminally differentiate and myelinate axons when transplanted back into an in vivo environment. Specifically, after 30 days in the brain of newborn shiverer mouse hosts, O4+GalC- oligodendrocyte progenitors produced myelin basic protein positive (MBP+) patches. These MBP+ patches, examined by both light and confocal microscopy, contained oligodendrocyte cell bodies and ensheathed host shiverer axons morphologically similar to those found in normal rat brain at an analogous age. These results suggest that isolated O4+GalC- cells can become biochemically mature oligodendrocytes with the capacity to elaborate myelin sheaths, and further define the period of development during which oligodendrocytes retain their capacity to myelinate axons when given a receptive environment.
