Product Description: MBP Ac1-9 (4Y) is a synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of myelin basic protein (MBP) that has undergone specific chemical modifications. MBP Ac1-9 (4Y) is able to form a complex with the MHC class II molecule I-Au and activate specific T cell receptor (TCR), thus playing a role in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). MBP Ac1-9 (4Y) can be used to study autoimmune diseases, especially those involving the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis[1].
Formula: C47H75N17O16
