Abstract
Degeneration of the central white matter is described in old dogs. The presence of ubiquitin-immunoreactive free granules and intracytoplasm ic globules in glial cells and macrophages, together with galactocereb roside-immunoreactive precipitates and lipofuscin storage, point to th e likelihood of a primary myelin degeneration with deposits of non-deg raded ubiquitin-protein conjugates and complex galactolipids.
