Description:
Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a major candidate autoantigen in multiple sclerosis (MS). Its immunodominant epitope, MBP 85-99, forms a complex with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR2 with which multiple sclerosis is genetically associated.  The peptide antagonist is a 15-mer peptide that competes with Myelin Basic Protein MBP (85-99), the immunodominant epitope of MBP and major candidate autoantigen in multiple sclerosis (MS).
Storage:
