A freeze-etch study of the central myelin.

The intramembranous organization of the interparanodal myelin lamellae in CNS was investigated by means of the freeze-etching technique. The density of the IMPs is about equal on both P- and E-fracture faces of every myelin sheath but varies between the myelin sheaths. The morphology of the myelin tight junctions was also described. The nature of the IMPs and the functional significance of their mode of distribution were discussed.

Neuronal Na+, K+-ATPase in the peripheral nerve fibers.

ATPase activity was localized by means of Wachstein-Meisel's method in rat sciatic nerve fibers. Using controls with ouabain, the presence of alpha + (neuronal) Na+, K+-ATPase was examined. The enzyme occurs in the ATPase reaction of the myelin-forming membranes, axoplasm and Schwann cell cytoplasm. Its presence in the Schwann cell plasma membrane is only admittable. The ATPase activity of the compact myelin and axolemma was exclusively of alpha + type of Na+, K+-ATPase.
