Passage
In the central nervous system, myelin produced by oligodendrocytes (glial cells) functions as an insulating sheath surrounding certain nerve fibers.  To identify candidate genes involved in the myelination process, researchers collected oligodendrocytes from zebrafish and purified the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts expressed by these glial cells.  The mRNA was converted to complementary DNA (cDNA) by reverse transcriptase, and the cDNA was fluorescently labeled and assessed for hybridization on a microarray.  The expression of mRNA in other zebrafish cells was similarly measured.Transcripts detected in zebrafish oligodendrocytes at levels greater than 3 times those found in other cells were selected as candidate myelination genes.  Some of the detected genes, including plp1a, Sox10, and mbp, were previously known to be specific to oligodendrocytes, validating the procedure.  The cDNA of newly identified candidates was amplified by PCR, and the ends were digested with the restriction enzymes EcoRI and XhoI.  Genes were then ligated into the multiple cloning site (MCS) of the pSKII vector, shown in Figures 1 and 2, which had also been digested by EcoRI and XhoI.
