Immunohistochemical staining of MBP (RED) in the hippocampal region of a transgenic adult mouse brain. This particular transgenic mouse expresses low levels of GFP autofluorescence under control of an actin promoter region. The anti-MBP antibody (Aves Labs) was used at a 1:1000 dilution.

Target

Myelin Basic Protein (MBP)

Target Description

Human Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) is a 20,115 dalton protein (186 amino acids) found in myelin of the CNS and PNS. Expressed as an intracellular protein by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, MBP aids in the compaction and stability of myelin.

Antibody Registry ID

AB_2313550

Storage

Store at 4°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least 12 months (provided they remain sterile). Do not freeze these antibodies unless you want to store them for longer periods of time. Note, however, that each time an antibody preparation is frozen, about half of its binding activity is lost.

Physical State

Liquid

Production Notes

Chickens were immunized with a synthetic peptide / keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) conjugate. The peptide corresponded to a region of the MBP gene product shared between the human (NP_002376, NCBI) and mouse (NP_034907, NCBI) sequences. After repeated injections, immune eggs were collected, the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks, and then affinity-purified using a peptide column. The concentrations of the eluates were then adjusted to 100 µg/mL, and the preparation was filter-sterilized.

Dilution Ranges

WB: 1:1000-1:2000
IHC: 1:1000-1:2000

Quality Control

Quality assurance analysis was performed using immunohistochemistry (at a dilution of 1:2000) using fluorescein-labeled goat anti-chicken IgY (1:500 dilution, Aves Labs Cat.# F-1005) as the secondary reagent.

Usage Statement

These antibodies are to be used as research laboratory reagents and are not for use as diagnostic or therapeutic reagents in humans.
