— Myelin was isolated from bovine optic nerve, cerebral white matter, spinal cord white matter and peripheral nerve (intradural spinal roots). The freeze‐dried myelin completely dissolved in phenol‐formic acid‐water (14:3:3, w/v/v), and acrylamide gel electrophoresis of the myelin proteins was performed with this solvent. Qualitative and quantitative differences were observed in the myelin proteins from the various regions of the CNS. Myelin of peripheral nerve contained proteins that are apparently unique to it and which are not found in the myelin of the CNS.
