Kinetics of the interaction of myelin basic protein with phospholipid layers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The time dependence of the adsorption of myelin basic protein onto dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl glycerol multilayers has been followed directly, using a novel application of a microgravimetric gauge. Our results, supplemented by other data obtained by FTIR, show the ease and versatility of the quartz microbalance for investigating the interaction processes between proteins and phospholipid layers and show that the protein adsorption is accompanied by structural changes in the proteolipid ensemble and adsorbed liquid water; it is furthermore dependent on the mesoscopic defect morphology of the ensemble. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Combination of Myelin Basic Protein Gene Polymorphisms with HLA-DRB1*1501 in Iranian Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS), as a multifactorial autoimmune disease with complex genetic basis, causes demyelination in the central nervous system via cytokine responses to myelin antigens. Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the main protein component of the myelin sheath. HLA-DRB (human leukocyte antigen-DR beta) alleles, particularly HLA-DRB1*1501, may be of significance in the pathogenesi...

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 کاملAn x-ray absorption spectroscopy study of the zinc environment in Langmuir-Blodgett phospholipid multilayers.
For the first time x-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to investigate the Zn environment in Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers. The multilayers were taken as a model of the multilamellar structure of the myelin sheath, the membrane surrounding the nerve axon, which plays a crucial role for signal transduction along the axon. The layers were assembled from the phospholipid dilauroylphosphatidic ac...
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...

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...
