Principles and pitfalls of nerve conduction studies.

abstract：:To study the distribution of myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) in human nervous tissue and in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, we used paraffin sections and our modification of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. Sections of MS lesions also were treated with antiserum to basic protein (BP) and with histologica...
