Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunofluorescence (IF)
Spezifität
Recognizes P0 Myelin Protein.
Aufreinigung
Affinity Chromatography using a peptide column.
Immunogen
Two antipeptide antibodies were generated in Chickens against sequences shared between the Mouse (NP_032649) and Human (NP_000521) gene products. Production: After repeated injections, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks. These IgY fractions were then affinity-purified using a peptide column, and the concentrations of the eluates adjusted to 0.2 mg/ml. Finally, equal volumes of both of these affinity purified anti-peptide antibodies were mixed, and the preparation was filter-sterilized.
Human Myelin Protein Zero (Po) is a 28,400 dalton protein (258 amino acids) found in myelin of the PNS, but not the CNS. Expressed in myelinating Schwann cells, Po serves as a homophilic adhesion molecule, allowing adjacent laminae of the myelin sheath to undergo compaction. Po is also a marker of a subpopulation of migrating neural crest cells. Mutations of the MPZ gene product in humans is responsible for Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1B neuropathies (HMSN1B).Synonyms: MPP, Myelin P0 protein, Myelin peripheral protein, Myelin protein zero
