Clone No. | AFD- sHIgM22 (LYM22) |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | ICC, therapeutic, IF, IHC |
Species Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody recognizes and binds an epitope on the cell surface of human oligodendrocytes and central white matter of the cerebellum. This antibody also cross reacts with antigens present on mouse and rat oligodendrocytes. |
Alternative Name | oligodendrocyte |
UniProt | |
Immunogen | The original antibody was isolated from the sera obtained from 102 patients with a wide variety of conditions including Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and monoclonal gammopathy. |
Application Notes | This antibody is directed against the cell surface antigen of oligodendrocyte and induces calcium signals in cultured glial cells promotes and promotes significant remyelination in a virus mediated mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). A single 0.5 mg peripheral dose of either of two human IgMs (sHIgM22 and sHIgM46) promoted significant remyelination in chronically Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infected mice (PMID: 10841576). This antibody was also found to accelerate the rate of remyelination of axons in a lysolecithin-induced demyelination mouse model (PMID: 11857682). This antibody was used in the immunohistochemical staining of mature mouse cerebellar slices and was found to bind the white matter also react with Purkinje cells in the granular layer (PMID: 12154009). |
