Bioactivity | Myelin basic protein, MBP (68-86) is the portion of the 68th to 86th amino acid residues in the MBP protein sequence. Myelin basic protein, MBP (68-86) can act as an autoantigen, triggering the immune system to attack its own myelin. Myelin basic protein, MBP (68-86) is used as one of the immunogens in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) animal model to study immune responses associated with multiple sclerosis (MS)[1]. |
