Immunogen | Callithrix jacchus marmosets were used, and experimental allergic encephalomyelitis was induced by the injection of rat MOG (aa1-125) into the marmosettes. The rMOG was expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. The animals were killed 4-70 days after the onset of symptoms of EAE. Bone marrow and spleen cells were obtained from an immunized C. jacchus, the RNA extracted with Trizol reagent and rtPCR used to generate cloning inserts containing Fab portions of IgGk. Phage display was then used to select for the MOG-reactive Fab fragments using the pCOMB3H phage display vector, and binding confirmed using an ELISA. |
Application Notes | Recognises a similar epitope as M26 and M45 as they have been shown to compete for binding. Also competes with M3-8 and so is likely to have overlapping epitopes. Recognises an epitope distinct from M3-31 or M2-24. The epitope recognised is a structural epitope, shown by the lack of recognition of linear MOG peptides. |
