Successful treatment of metachromatic leukodystrophy using bone marrow transplantation of HoxB4 overexpressing cells
2010, Molecular TherapyCitation Excerpt :ASA knockout mice (MLD mice) were obtained from the laboratory of Dr Volkmar Gieselmann.23 These mice have been extensively characterized and are widely used as a mouse model for MLD.4,24,25,26,27 GFP mice originated from C57/BL6.28
Enzyme replacement improves ataxic gait and central nervous system histopathology in a mouse model of metachromatic leukodystrophy
2009, Molecular TherapyCitation Excerpt :It has to be mentioned that some large profiles typical of phagocytes, albeit significantly reduced in number, were still detectable after treatment (Figure 3l). In the inner ear of ASA knockout mice the main features are severe sulfatide storage in the perikarya of the spiral and vestibular ganglia and rapid loss of spiral ganglion cells between the 4th and 8th month of life.18,19 In this study, the cochleae were examined in 5 µm paraffin sections (preembedding incubation with alcian blue) and the density of spiral ganglion cells related to the basal turn was evaluated quantitatively.
