Biological Activity
Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system. In this study, whole blood samples are analyzed for activation capacity and the activatability of CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes by human total myelin basic protein (MBP), human MBP 104-118 fragment, and guinea pig MBP (68-82) fragment. A significant increase in the number of activated T-lymphocytes was observed in the whole blood. For all three tested MBPs, this increase in activated CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes is statistically significant (p<0.01). However, this increase in activated T-cells is most prominent following incubation with human total MBP, followed by human 104-118 fragment; the smallest increase is observed following incubation with guinea pig MBP (68-82) fragment (human total MBP>huMBP-104-118>guinea pig MBP (68-82))[1].

Powder -80°C 2 years -20°C 1 year * In solvent : -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture)
Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 50 mg/mL (28.79 mM; Need ultrasonic)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Solubility: 100 mg/mL (57.58 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic
Protocol
For each individual, the whole blood sample is typically divided into six 1 mL aliquots/tubes. Concanavalin A is added to tube 1 (positive control). Tube 2 is left untreated. Tube 3 is treated with human albumin as a negative control. Human total MBP, human MBP 104-118 fragment and guinea pig MBP (68-82) are added to tubes 4, 5 and 6, respectively. All proteins are added to a final concentration of 2 µg/mL. All experiments (incubations and flow cytometric analysis) are performed in duplicate for each subject[1].

Rats[2]
Ten-week-old female Lewis rats are divided into the following two experimental groups: BVA-pretreated (every 3 days from 20 min before immunization) and BVA-posttreated (daily from days 10-15 after immunization) groups. Each experimental group is subdivided into the following five groups: normal [saline, subcutaneous (s.c.)+saline, s.c.], MBP [250 μg of myelin basic protein MBP (68-82), s.c.+saline, s.c., ST36 acupoint], MBP+BVA 0.25 [250 μg of MBP (68-82), s.c.+0.25 mg/kg body weight of BV, s.c., ST36 acupoint], MBP+BVA 0.8 [250 μg of MBP (68-82), s.c.+0.8 mg/kg body weight of BV, s.c., ST36 acupoint], and BVA alone [saline, s.c.+0.8 mg/kg body weight of BV, s.c., ST36 acupoint] groups. EAE is induced with an emulsion containing 250 μg of MBP (68-82) and 100 μg of Mycobacterium M. tuberculosis per mL of incomplete Freund’s adjuvant. A total of 0.2 mL of this emulsion is injected s.c. into the two hind footpads of rats except for those in the normal group and BVA alone group. Additionally, rats receive intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of 200 ng of pertussis toxin on days 0 and 2. Rats in the normal group are treated with saline alone instead of MBP (68-82) peptide, pertussis toxin, or BVA[2].
