Key features and details | |
Cat. No. | MABL-240 |
Name | Anti-Myelin basic protein mAbs |
Clone No. | AFD-F28C4 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | ELISA |
Species Reactivity | Human |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody binds human myelin basic protein (MBP), acetyl residues 1-9 (ASQKRPSQR). 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 Name | MBP; Myelin A1 protein; Myelin membrane encephalitogenic protein |
UniProt | P02686 |
Immunogen | The original antibody was generated by immunizing PL/J mice with MBP acetyl residues 1-9. |
Application Notes | This antibody shares a cross reactive idiotpe with the TCRs, possibly as a result of having similar fine epitope specificity and sequence homology (PMID: 7517973). This antibody can be used for the detection of MBP in a solution using ELISA (PMID: 8567971). |
