Fig. 5. In situ hybridization studies of terminal oligodendrocyte differentiation
in early postnatal spinal cords of mice carrying Sox8- and
Sox10-null alleles. In situ hybridization with probes specific for
Mbp (A-D,I-L) and Plp (E-H,M-P) were performed on transverse
spinal cord sections from the forelimb region at postnatal day 3 (A-H) and
postnatal day 7 (I-P). (A,E,I,M) Wild-type spinal cords; (B,F,J,N),
Sox8lacZ/lacZ spinal cords; (C,G,K,O),
Sox10+/lacZ spinal cords; (D,H,L,P),
Sox8lacZ/lacZ, Sox10+/lacZ spinal
cords.
