Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a protein involved in the myelination of nerves in the CNS. MBP functions to maintain the correct structure of myelin, through its interaction with the lipids in the myelin membrane. The myelin sheath is made up of MBP and lipids, and acts as an insulator to increase the velocity of axonal impulse conduction. MBP plays a central role in the demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis (MS). A hallmark of the disease is the loss of the myelin sheath surrounding nerves, thought to be induced by antibodies against MBP.

WB - Verified
ICC - Reported in the literature, not verified in house - Recommended Usage
-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 0.25 – 0.5 µg/ml is suggested. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.2 – 1.0 µg per ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
This antibody reacts with the sequence Ala-Ser-Asp-Tyr-Lys-Ser in position 131-136 of the classic human myelin basic protein. The antibody detects myelin basic protein from most mammalian species. This antibody detects developing and adult myelin, developing oligodedrocytes and distinguishes oligodendrocytes from astrocytes, microglia, neurons, and other cells in brain sections. The combination of this antibody with clone SMI-91 and/or SMI-94 is useful for immunocytochemical studies on the progression of normal and pathologic myelination.
- Additional Product Notes
-
Myelin basic protein exists in multiple isoforms. By WB, clone SMI 99 detects mainly the 21 kD and 28 kD isoforms in the murine brain tissue, and the 21 kD isoform in the human brain tissue.
