Left: Analysis of MBP expression in rat brain cerebellum by Immunohistochemistry with chicken anti-MBP antibody (1:5,000, green). Section was co-stained with rabbit antibody to NF-L (R-1392-50, 1:5,000, red). The MBP antibody stains oligodendrocytes and myelin sheathes around axons, while the NF-L antibody labels dendrites and axons of neuronal cells. Right: Western blot analysis of tissue lysates with chicken antibody to MBP (1:10,000). [1] protein standard, [2] rat brain, [3] rat spinal cord, [4] rat sciatic nerve, [5] mouse brain, [6] mouse spinal cord. Multiple bands between 14-22 kDa correspond to various alternate transcripts of the single MBP gene.
