Description

The myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a clinically significant component of central nervous system (CNS) myelin, and a major focus of neuroimmunology research. Peptides&elephants‘ MOG 92–106 peptide (epitope ID 112472) with the amino acid sequence DEGGYTCFFRDHSYQ is studied as part of mouse MOG (UniProt ID: Q61885) and rat MOG (UniProt ID: Q63345). The peptide has an encephalitogenic effect in rodent models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Scientists developed transgenic, relapsing-remitting mice (RR mice) carrying a t cell receptor (TCR) specific for MOG 92–106. When backcrossed to the SJL/J mouse strain, most RR mice spontaneously develop relapsing-remitting EAE, with alternating inflammatory episodes affecting different CNS regions such as the cerebellum, optic nerve, and spinal cord. The development of spontaneous EAE in this model depends on an intact B cell compartment and on the expression of MOG autoantigen.

MOG 92–106 supports studies of T- and B-cell reactivity, antigen–antibody binding, and CNS autoimmunity mechanisms. High-purity synthetic material from peptides&elephants ensures suitability for advanced immunology applications including in vitro assays, epitope-specific research and translational neuroimmunology investigations. 

Applications:

  • Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induction and modelling of CNS demyelination
  • T cell epitope mapping and specificity studies
  • Antigen–antibody interaction research and epitope binding assays
  • Investigation of neuroimmune crosstalk and demyelinating pathology
