<p><b>A</b>, Primary Schwann cells derived from sciatic nerves of P3 Wistar rats were cultured in non-differentiating (untreated) or differentiating (+NRG1 +dbcAMP) conditions. MBP protein can only be detected by immunocytochemistry in differentiated Schwann cells. Scale bar represents 50μm. <b>B</b>, Western Blots of undifferentiated and differentiated primary Schwann cells show MBP protein only present in differentiated Schwann cells. CNP is expressed in both maturation stages of primary Schwann cells. GAPDH serves as loading control. <b>C</b>, MBP and sncRNA715-specific RT-PCR on RNA extracted from undifferentiated or differentiated primary Schwann cells. <i>Mbp</i> mRNA is present at both differentiation states while sncRNA715 is detectable in undifferentiated and hardly in differentiated Schwann cells. SnoRNA135 and <i>G6pdh</i> mRNA were used as loading controls.</p
