MBP antibody | 14
Rat anti Bovine myelin basic protein antibody, clone 14 (MCA408S) used for the localization of MBP in mouse brain by immunofluorescence on formalin fixed, frozen sections
Image caption:
MBP1-EGFP expression in neuron soma and neurites
Brains of Tg-MBP1-EGFP mice showed globally strong endogenous green fluorescence (E) and MBP1 immunostaining (F) compared to wild-type mice (A, B). MBP1-EGFP expression was detected in the cell bodies and neurites (as designated by the arrows) in the cortex (G) and CA1 of hippocampus (H) but not in the wild-type mice (C, D). MBP1-EGFP co-localized with neuronal NeuN immunolabeling in cortex (I–L) and CA1 region (M–P). Endogenous green fluorescence (I, M), MBP1 immunolabeling (J, N) and NeuN immunolabeling (K, O) were merged in (L) and (P). Scale bars = 1 mm in A, B, E, F and 50 μm in the remaining panels.
