Description

• Amino Acid Sequence: Met-Glu-Val-Gly-Trp-Tyr-Arg-Ser-Pro-Phe-Ser-Arg-Val-Val-His-Leu-Tyr-Arg-Asn-Gly-Lys
• General description: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a component of the central nervous system and present on the surface of oligodendrocytes and myelin. Its extracellular domain is widely used to generate an autoimmune animal model of multiple sclerosis.[1] In rats, it is expressed in the hippocampus.[2]
• Application: Delayed administration of erythropoietin and its non-erythropoietic derivatives ameliorates chronic murine autoimmune encephalomyelitis.: This paper investigates the delayed therapeutic administration of erythropoietin and its derivatives in the treatment of autoimmune encephalomyelitis, using Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Peptide Fragment 35-55 to induce the disease model in mice (Savino et al., 2006).Absence of reuptake of serotonin influences susceptibility to clinical autoimmune disease and neuroantigen-specific interferon-gamma production in mouse EAE.: This research explores the role of serotonin reuptake in modulating immune responses and susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, using Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Peptide Fragment 35-55 to induce experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice (Hofstetter et al., 2005).Transcriptional therapy with the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of trichostatin A, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in treating experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Peptide Fragment 35-55 was used to induce the disease model in rats and mice, providing insights into potential epigenetic therapies (Camelo et al., 2005).
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Induces experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in rodents; a single injection of this peptide produces a relapsing-remitting neurologic disease with extensive plaque-like demyelination; immunization with MOG (35-55) suppresses spontaneous regeneration of dopaminergic neurons injured with MPTP.
• Other Notes: Lyophilized from 0.1% TFA in H2O
