Application CommentsOther species have not been tested, but the antibody is expected to recognize MBP in most mammalian species. Recognizes developing and adult myelin and developing oligodendrocytes. Distinguishes oligodendrocytes from astrocytes, microglia, neurons, and other cells in brain tissue. In conjunction with Anti-Myelin Basic Protein Mouse mAb (SMI-91) (Cat. No. NE1020) and/or Anti-Myelin Basic Protein Mouse mAb (SMI-99) (Cat. No. NE1019), this antibody is useful for immunocytochemical studies on the progression of normal and pathologic myelination. Tissues can be fixed in a variety of paraformaldehyde- or formaldehyde-containing fixatives. To insure penetration of the antibody into myelin it is necessary to pre-treat frozen sections with cold methanol for 30 min or detergent. For staining paraffin sections it is recommended that de-paraffinized tissues be autoclaved in dH2O for 10 min or boiled in Tris-saline, pH 9.0, in a microwave for 15 min to expose the epitope. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

DescriptionMouse monoclonal antibody supplied as undiluted ascites. Recognizes the ~21 kDa myelin basic protein (MBP).
BackgroundThe myelin sheath is essential for rapid and effective propagation of action potential within the axon. Mutations identified in several myelin-related genes reportedly lead to severe demyelinating neuropathies. Recent evidence also suggests that the autoimmune disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is mediated by T cells with specificity for antigens in the myelin sheath. Although myelin in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) is structurally similar, it is chemically distinct since oligodendrocytes form myelin in the CNS whereas Schwann cells generate PNS myelin. Myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is the predominant integral membrane protein in mammalian CNS myelin. In contrast, myelin basic protein (MBP) is localized to the myelin cytoplasm and is highly conserved among species. Both MBP and PLP mediate myelin compaction, whereas thickness is regulated by MBP. Several other myelin proteins have been identified to play distinct or partially overlapping functions in the formation and maintenance of the myelin sheath, including P0, myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), peripheral myelin protein (PMP22), and Connexin 32 (Cx32). The development of the myelin sheath has been a good model for understanding the mechanisms of neuron-glia interaction.
