Hydrophobic compounds interfere in radioimmunoassay for basic protein in myelin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrophobic compounds influenced the accuracy of the radioimmunoassay for myelin basic protein when lipids (stearic acid, phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, cerebroside, sulfatide, or GM1 ganglioside) or proteolipids (white-matter proteolipid apoprotein, kidney proteolipid apoproteins, or heart proteolipid apoproteins) were added to a known amount of basic protein and the samples assayed. All of these interfere with the assay, but the direction of the error depends on the quantity added: low concentrations of lipid decrease apparent basic protein, high concentrations enhance it. Obviously, results of basic-protein assays must be interpreted carefully.

Designing, Optimization and Construction of Myelin Basic Protein Coding Sequence Binding to the Immunogenic Subunit of Cholera Toxin
Abstract Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. Mucosal feeding of myelin basic protein binding to the cholera toxin B subunit can reduce the intensity of the immune response in MS patients. Expression system, the domain composition of the fusion protein, accessibility of two domains, codon adaptation index (CAI) and GC contents are v...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system of presumed autoimmune etiology. One of the best animal models of demyelinating diseases is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), which can be induced in a variety of animals by injection of a target antigen such as myelin basic protein (MBP). The immune responses against the target amino acids caus...
متن کاملSerum and Saliva Myelin Basic Protein as Multiple Sclerosis Biomarker
Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is presented with motor and sensory function loss. It is caused by demyelination and following axonal lesion. As myelin basic protein (MBP) is one of the key elements of the myelin cover, we examined the level of MBP in serum, stimulated, and unstimulated saliva as a suitable biomarker for detecting MS. Methods: A case-control study was performed in 29 health...

A sensitive radioimmunoassay that can detect brain damage in cases of head injury and stroke was applied to blood samples from 13 patients before and after they received multiple treatments with electroconvulsive therapy for psychiatric disorder. None of the patients showed a significant increase in serum myelin basic protein immunoreactivity. As increased serum myelin basic protein immunoreact...
متن کاملProtein associations and basic protein conformation in the myelin membrane. The use of difluorodinitrobenzene as a cross-linking reagent.
The near-neighbor relationships of proteins in the myelin membrane were examined using dinitrodifluorobenzene and other cross-linking reagents. When intact cat dorsal column or isolated myelin fragments were treated with cross-linking reagents, up to 20% of the myelin basic protein dimerized. The only other cross-linked product formed in the intact cat dorsal column was a heterodimer consisting...
