Myelin was isolated from bovine brain by several published procedures and modifications of these procedures. High activity of the myelin marker (2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase) and low activity of contaminants markers in white matter homogenates in respect to cerebral cortex showed the white matter to be better than the cerebral cortex or the whole brain for myelin isolation. A procedure is described for the preparation of purified myelin from bovine white matter which yielded a content of protein (40%), myelin marker (51%), and 5'-nucleotidase (25%) in purified myelin higher than by any used method. Acetylcholinesterase or succinate dehydrogenase was lower than 7% of its activity in the white matter homogenate, and monoamine oxidase and NADPH:cytochrome c reductase were not recovered in myelin fraction. Morphologically, myelin fraction was shown to mainly consist of multilamellar membranes of different sizes. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of myelin fraction showed a characteristic protein pattern of myelin. When our procedure was applied to frozen white matter, lower protein (32%) and myelin marker (34%) and similar 5'-nucleotidase activity (24%) were recovered in myelin, increasing its recovery in denser fractions of white matter.
