Description
MOG (35-55) (149635-73-4) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) 35-55 is a minor component of CNS myelin. MOG (35-55) produces a relapsing-remitting neurological disease with extensive plaque-like demyelination, common to the manifestations of multiple sclerosis. MOG (35-55) induces strong T and B cell responses and is highly encephalitogenic. MOG (35-55) induces T cell-mediated multiple sclerosis in animal models. When co-administered with ITE, MOG (35-55) induces tolerogenic dendritic cells and suppresses disease development in mouse preclinical models of multiple sclerosis.
Biological Activity
mog (35-55) is a truncated peptide derived from the human myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (mog). mog, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is expressed wildly in the central nervous system. in mouse and rat models for human multiple sclerosis, mog is involved in inducing the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. humoral auto-immunity to the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (mog) may be associated with the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (ms) [1].mog (35-55) is involved in inducing autoantibody production and relapsing-remitting neurological disease causing extensive plaque-like demyelination [2]. in hla-dr2-transgenic mice, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-35-55 peptide induced severe chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis [3].mog35-55 was highly encephalitogenic and could induce strong t and b cell responses in rats [4]. in nod/lt mice (h-2g7) and c57bl/6 mice (h-2b), single injection of mog35-55 in cfa could induce ms-like disease [4].
