Synergistic interactions of lipids and myelin basic protein.
This report describes force measurements and atomic force microscope imaging of lipid-protein interactions that determine the structure of a model membrane system that closely mimics the myelin sheath. Our results suggest that noncovalent, mainly electrostatic and hydrophobic, interactions are responsible for the multilamellar structure and stability of myelin. We find that myelin basic protein...
متن کاملSerum and Saliva Myelin Basic Protein as Multiple Sclerosis Biomarker
Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is presented with motor and sensory function loss. It is caused by demyelination and following axonal lesion. As myelin basic protein (MBP) is one of the key elements of the myelin cover, we examined the level of MBP in serum, stimulated, and unstimulated saliva as a suitable biomarker for detecting MS. Methods: A case-control study was performed in 29 health...
متن کاملMyelin basic protein.
The fact that central nerve tissue is encephalitogenic has been known since the observation of a post-injection reaction of some rabies victims to the Pasteur vaccine that contained nerve tissue (Brostoff, 1977). Subsequently the encephalitogenic agent in central nerve tissue was traced to a component of the myelin sheath, and a protein was finally isolated that in the presence of complete Freu...
متن کاملISOLATION OF MYELIN BASIC PROTEIN AND DETECTION OF I TS IMMUNOL\'OGICAL PROPERTIES
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system of presumed autoimmune etiology. One of the best animal models of demyelinating diseases is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), which can be induced in a variety of animals by injection of a target antigen such as myelin basic protein (MBP). The immune responses against the target amino acids caus...
متن کاملLipid domains control myelin basic protein adsorption and membrane interactions between model myelin lipid bilayers.
The surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscope were used to study the effects of lipid composition and concentrations of myelin basic protein (MBP) on the structure of model lipid bilayers, as well as the interaction forces and adhesion between them. The lipid bilayers had a lipid composition characteristic of the cytoplasmic leaflets of myelin from "normal" (healthy) and "disease-lik...
