plp (139 151)

[SER140]-PLP(139-151) acetate is a peptide fragment from myelin proteolipid protein (PLP).

[SER140]-PLP(139-151) is a polypeptide fragment of the lipid protein of myelin.

[Leu144,Arg147]-PLP (139-151) is a mutated fragment of the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP), featuring substitutions of tryptophan to leucine and histidine to arginine at positions 144 and 147, respectively. Immunizing mice with this peptide (50 µg) mixed in complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) elevates IL-4 levels in the spleen. While it suppresses Th1 cell activation in vitro, it does not do so in vivo; instead, it promotes the development of regulatory T cells. Preimmunization with [Leu144, Arg147]-PLP (139-151) postpones the onset of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) triggered by encephalitogenic peptides from PLP (178-191), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) (92-106), or myelin basic protein (MBP) in mice.

[SER140]-PLP(139-151) (TFA) is a polypeptide fragment of the myelin lipid protein.

PLP (139-151) is amino acid residue residue 139 to 151 of myelin proteolipid protein (PLP). This peptide is used to induce relapsing-remitting (RR)-EAE model.

PLP (178-191), an immunodominant encephalitogenic epitope from the proteolipid protein (PLP) fragment spanning amino acids 178 to 191, plays a pivotal role in SJL mice. It initiates disease onset earlier compared to the other major encephalitogenic epitope, PLP (139-151), though both epitopes result in similar incidence, severity, and histologic characteristics.

J5 peptide, an MBP inhibitor, competitively inhibits the binding of MBP 85-99 to HLA-DR2, and mitigates PLP 139-151/MBP 85-99-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice. It is utilized in research pertaining to inflammatory and immune diseases [1].
