Scientific Data Images for MBP Antibody (7D2)

Western Blot: MBP Antibody (7D2) [NBP1-05204]

Western Blot: MBP Antibody (7D2) [NBP1-05204]

Western Blot: MBP Antibody (7D2) [NBP1-05204] - Analysis of different tissue lysates using mouse mAb to MBP, NBP1-05204, dilution 1:10,000 in green: [1] protein standard (red), [2] rat brain, [3] rat spinal cord, [4] mouse brain, [5] mouse spinal cord, [6] cow spinal cord. Bands at 21.5kDa and 18.5kDa are the two larger transcripts from the MBP gene, showing that the epitope of this antibody depends on the sequence encoded by exon 2. Note that monoclonal NBP1-05203 binds all four rat MBP transcripts running at 21.5kDa, 18.5kDa, 17kDa and 14kDa, so that this antibody binds to the core sequence of human and rodent MBP.

Immunohistochemistry: MBP Antibody (7D2) [NBP1-05204]

Immunohistochemistry: MBP Antibody (7D2) [NBP1-05204] - Analysis rat brain hippocampal section stained with mouse mAb to myelin basic protein (MBP), NBP1-05204, dilution 1:5,000 in green, and costained with rabbit pAb to NF-M, RPCA-NF-M, dilution 1:2,000, in red. The MBP antibody stains myelin sheathes around axons, while the NF-M antibody labels dendrites and axons of neuronal cells.

Background: MBP

Myelin Basic protein (MBP), along with myelin proteolipid protein (PLP/lipophilin), is the most abundant protein constituents of myelin membrane in the CNS cells. MBP plays a key role in both the formation as well as the stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. MBP is a homodimer that can self-associates in the presence of lysolipid, and is localized in myelin membrane as peripheral membrane protein on the cytoplasmic side of myelin. MBP is found in CNS/PNS and after post-translational modifications (PTMs), at least 6 charge isomers are produced: C1 (most cationic/least modified form), C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6 (the least cationic form); and its potential PTMs includes - phosphorylation of serine or threonine residues, deamidation of glutamine or asparagine residues, citrullination and methylation of arginine residues. MBP phosphorylations are executed by TAOK2, VRK2, MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK14 and MINK1. Citrullination and methylation modifications of MBP may lead to reduction in surface charge that follows its weakened attachment with myelin membranes and this mechanism has been proposed to be operative in demyelinating diseases such as chronical multiple sclerosis (MS), fulminating MS (Marburg disease) etc.
