P.337 right column bottom paragraph: "Lipids constitute 70-80% of the myelin material, but there is no known myelin-specific lipid. A distinguishing feature of myelin is a high content of galactolipids (cerebroside and sulphatide), cholesterol and the plasmalogen form of ethanolamine phosphoglyceride. Together these three lipids comprise about 65% of the total lipids (Norton and Cammer, 1984)." P.338 left column 2nd paragraph: "Since the proteins, which constitute some 20-30% of the myelin material, account for the encephalitogenic properties of myelin, they have attracted much interest." |
