Background of MBP

Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a major constituent of the myelin sheath of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells in the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, respectively. It is most abundant in hemopoietic system and contains seven exons distributed over 32-34 kb. MBP isolated from MS brain may differ in charge microheterogeneity which would affect antigenic determinants. MBP is mapped to chromosome 18q22-23. Failure in this gene expression would be correlated in the central white matter with extrapyramidal system degeneration signs. Moreover, it is a candidate autoantigen in the disease multiple sclerosis.

Antibody Validation

Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Question

We have observed staining in mouse amygdala. Any tips? Is anti-Myelin Basic Protein/MBP antibody supposed to stain amygdala positively?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-04-16

Answer

From what I have seen in literature amygdala does express MBP. From what I have seen in Uniprot.org, MBP is expressed in c1 segment of cervical spinal cord, embryonic spinal cord, brain, amygdala, hippocampus subthalamic nucleus, brain, lung skin, leukemic t-cell, cervix carcinoma, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have MBP expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Amygdala, Pubmed ID: 17974005
Brain, Pubmed ID: 7504278, 7574672, 7685161
Cervix carcinoma, Pubmed ID: 23186163

Question

Will anti-Myelin Basic Protein/MBP antibody PA1050 work on goat IF with amygdala?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-04-06

Answer

Our lab technicians have not tested anti-Myelin Basic Protein/MBP antibody PA1050 on goat. You can run a BLAST between goat and the immunogen sequence of anti-Myelin Basic Protein/MBP antibody PA1050 to see if they may cross-react. If the sequence homology is close, then you can perform a pilot test. Keep in mind that since we have not validated goat samples, this use of the antibody is not covered by our guarantee. However we have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in goat amygdala in IF, you can get your next antibody for free.

Question

My question regarding product PA1050, anti-Myelin Basic Protein/MBP antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?

D. Moore

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-06-09

Answer

It is not recommended storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PA1050 anti-Myelin Basic Protein/MBP antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question

Would PA1050 anti-Myelin Basic Protein/MBP antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?

K. Taylor

Verified customer

Asked: 2014-02-04

Answer

As indicated on the product datasheet, PA1050 anti-Myelin Basic Protein/MBP antibody as been validated on IHC-P. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.
