Product Information
Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with synthetic peptides corresponding to residues surrounding Ala185 of human myelin basic protein, Val81 of human CNPase protein, Arg605 of human MAG protein, and the carboxy terminus of human PLP1 protein.
Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS) (1). Myelin basic protein (MBP) is an abundant CNS myelin membrane protein that plays an important role in nerve myelination. MBP helps to adhere the cytoplasmic leaflets of adjacent oligodendrocyte membranes to one another (2). CNPase (2', 3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase) is an enzyme highly expressed in oligodendrocytes and accounts for roughly 4% of the total myelin protein in the CNS (3). CNPase binds to tubulin heterodimers and plays a role in tubulin polymerization, and oligodendrocyte process outgrowth (4). Myelin proteolipid protein (PLP1) corresponds to the majority of myelin proteins in the CNS, providing support to axons and modulating axonal growth (5). Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is localized in oligodendroglial membranes of myelin sheaths where it plays a role in interaction between axons and glia, and has been shown to promote axonal protective effects (6,7).
