MYELIN BASIC PROTEIN (87-99) (HUMAN, BOVINE, RAT)

Uses

Myelin Basic Protein(87-99) is an encephalitogenic peptide that induces basic protein-specific T cell proliferation. Myelin Basic Protein(87-99) causes a Th1 polarization in peripheral blood mononuclear cells with is implicated of multiple sclerosis (MS)[1][2].
