Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a transmembrane protein expressed exclusively on the outermost surface of myelin sheaths and oligodendrocyte membranes in the central nervous system. As a minor component of myelin that is nonetheless highly accessible to the immune system, MOG has become a critical target in neuroscience research, particularly in studies of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis and MOG antibody-associated disease. Its role as an autoantigen makes it invaluable for investigating immune-mediated mechanisms of CNS pathology.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 21D2, offers the consistency and reliability that demanding neuroscience applications require. Developed using recombinant technology in a rabbit host, this antibody provides sequence-defined specificity against human MOG, ensuring reproducible results across experiments and eliminating the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate longitudinal studies. The monoclonal nature guarantees that every vial contains antibodies recognizing the identical epitope, derived from a synthesized peptide of the human MOG protein.
Validation through immunohistochemistry demonstrates this antibody's utility across diverse tissue contexts. Testing in paraffin-embedded human brain tissue confirms reliable detection in the protein's native neurological environment, while additional validation in human breast cancer tissue illustrates its performance across different sample types. For IHC applications, dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200 provide flexibility to optimize signal intensity for your specific experimental conditions, with validated protocols using citrate buffer antigen retrieval at pH 6.0.
Whether investigating demyelination mechanisms, characterizing oligodendrocyte biology, or exploring MOG expression patterns in pathological contexts, this antibody delivers the specificity and reproducibility essential for advancing neuroscience research.
