C18 3'-sulfo Galactosylceramide is a member of the sulfatide class of glycolipids. Levels of short-chain sulfatides, including C18 3'-sulfo galactosylceramide, decrease with age in mice and humans. It is increased in brain from mice with an arylsulfatase A deficiency (ASA-KO), particularly in lipid raft fractions. Plasma levels of C18 3'-sulfo galactosylceramide positively correlate with disability progression in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis using the Expanded Disability Status Scale. It is also increased in plasma from patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).
Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Peptide (35-55), mouse, rat (MOG (35-55)) 是中枢神经鞘的一个次要成分,能诱导强效的 T 细胞和 B 细胞反应,同时是高度脑源性的并具有很强的免疫原性,并且能够引发复发缓解性神经系统疾病,伴有广泛的斑块样脱髓鞘。[1]
PLP (139-151), an amino acid residue from positions 139 to 151 of myelin proteolipid protein (PLP), is utilized to induce the relapsing-remitting (RR)-EAE model.
