Sciatic nerve protein composition in normal and dystrophic C57BL/6J mice. 1987

H L Davis

Proteins were extracted from homogenized sciatic nerves of normal C57BL/6J and dystrophic C57BL/6J dy2J/dy2J mice and were separated on SDS-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis. Proteins visualized on Coomassie blue-stained gels were resolved into 43 bands. These were quantitated by densitometric scanning and continuous plotting of OD 595, then heights and areas of individual peaks were measured. The relative proportions of 5 proteins of intermediate molecular weight (37-92 kDa) were greater in dystrophic than normal nerves. These augmented proteins were not related to myelin or nuclear histone proteins.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008810	Mice, Inbred C57BL	One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D012584	Sciatic Nerve	A nerve which originates in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord (L4 to S3) and supplies motor and sensory innervation to the lower extremity. The sciatic nerve, which is the main continuation of the sacral plexus, is the largest nerve in the body. It has two major branches, the TIBIAL NERVE and the PERONEAL NERVE.
