From
Recombinant Antibody
Specificity
This antibody binds bovine myelin binding protein (MBP) in its native form. The MBP isoforms 4 and 14 along with PLP are most abundant protein components of the myelin membrane in the CNS. The smaller isoforms are believed to have an important role in remyelination of denuded axons in multiple sclerosis.
Alternative Names
MBP; Myelin A1 protein; Myelin membrane encephalitogenic protein
UniProt
P02687
Immunogen
The original antibody was isolated from a phage display library of single-chain variable fragments (scFvs), which was constructed from blood lymphocytes of patienst with MS as a potential source of representative MS autoantibodies.
Application Notes
The scFv version of this antibody binds bovine myelin basic protein with a binding affinity of 4 nM in an ELISA (PMID: 21859892).
