Mouse monoclonal antibody raised against synthetic peptide of MBP.
Sequence
QDENPVV
Specificity
The QD-9 antibody can specifically detect demyelinating lesions in brains with multiple sclerosis, multiple system atrophy (MSA), as well as infarcted brains. The QD-9 antibody is, therefore, a very useful tool for detecting demyelination but not myelin in normal brain.
Cross-Reactivity
Human
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 215-221 of human MBP.
The optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.
