Case 2 This is a demyelinative neuropathy in a knockout mouse. ---- 2A1,2 This low magnification image of the peripheral nerve shows several axons which are demyelinated with Schwann cell myelin debris, another naked fiber with an adjacent Schwann cell without debris (arrow), presumably preparing to regenerate, and a thinly remyelinated axon (arrowhead).
