Specificity

Recognizes Myelin Basic Protein in demyelinated nerve tissues. Immunohistochemistry analysis of lesioned rat spinal cord shows a high level of specificity for this antiserum.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 69-86 of the guinea pig protein. Immunogen corresponds to "degraded" Myelin Basic Protein: YGSLPQKSQRSQDENPVV

Application

Anti-Myelin Basic Protein Antibody is an antibody against Myelin Basic Protein for use in IH.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:2,000. Immunostains myelin basic protein of abnormal appearing oligodendrocytic processes and cell bodies in demyelinating areas. The antibody recognizes only areas of myelin degeneration when tested in injured spinal cord and lesioned sciatic nerve. It also stains discrete white matter in brain of multiple system atrophy

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

p25alpha is an oligodendroglial protein that can induce aggregation of alpha-synuclein and accumulates in oligodendroglial cell bodies containing fibrillized alpha-synuclein in the neurodegenerative disease multiple system atrophy (MSA). We demonstrate biochemically that p25alpha is a constituent of myelin and a

In multiple sclerosis, inflammation can successfully be prevented, while promoting repair is still a major challenge. Microglial cells, the resident phagocytes of the central nervous system (CNS), are hematopoietic-derived myeloid cells and express the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells
