Multiple epitopes in a dodecapeptide of myelin basic protein determined by monoclonal antibodies.
Three custom synthesized myelin basic protein (MBP) peptides, bovine peptide 79-88, human peptide 80-89, and human peptide 82-91, were used to produce four murine monoclonal antibodies (MAb) that were selected on the basis of reaction in a solid phase radioimmunoassay (SRIA) with human MBP. The MAb were compared with respect to antigen specificity against intact MBP and 10 overlapping MBP pepti...
متن کاملVisualization of Myelin Basic Protein (Mbp) T Cell Epitopes in Multiple Sclerosis Lesions Using a Monoclonal Antibody Specific for the Human Histocompatibility Leukocyte Antigen (Hla)-Dr2–Mbp 85–99 Complex
Susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with the human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR2 haplotype, suggesting that major histocompatibility complex class II-restricted presentation of central nervous system-derived antigens is important in the disease process. Antibodies specific for defined HLA-DR2-peptide complexes may therefore be valuable tools for studying ant...
متن کاملMultiple Sites of the Cleavage of 21- and 25-Mer Encephalytogenic Oligopeptides Corresponding to Human Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) by Specific Anti-MBP Antibodies from Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
IgGs from patients with multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) purified on MBP-Sepharose in contrast to canonical proteases hydrolyze effectively only myelin basic protein (MBP), but not many other tested proteins. Here we have shown for the first time that anti-MBP SLE IgGs hydrolyze nonspecific tri- and tetrapeptides with an extreme low efficiency and cannot effectively hyd...
متن کاملMyelin Basic Protein and a Multiple Sclerosis-related MBP-peptide Bind to Oligonucleotides
Aptamer ligands for myelin basic protein (MBP) were obtained using the systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment (SELEX) method. Two clones were isolated from a pool of oligonucleotides and tested for MBP targeting. Using purified MBP, we demonstrated the binding activity of the aptamers and we also showed the affinity of MBP for oligonucleotides of specific length. Moreover, one...
متن کاملA PstI restriction fragment length polymorphism in sheep detected with a human myelin basic protein (MBP) probe.
Source and Description of Probe. The probe was obtained from a pUC8 clone, pHBP-1, that carried the complete coding sequence of the human MBP gene (Kamholz et al., 1986; American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD). A 1.2-kb cDNA insert was excised from pHBP-1 using the enzyme EcoRI. Method of Detection. Sheep genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood. The DNA digests were resolved in 1% a...
