Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Background
The myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is an integral membrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is found exclusively in the central nervous system, where it is localized at the outermost surface of myelin sheaths and oligodendrocyte membranes.
MOG is an important marker for oligodendrocyte maturation since it's expression is delayed compared with other major myelin proteins. It may function in completion, compaction, and/or maintenance of myelin, as it has an adhesive role within the CNS. Consistent with this, a homodimeric form of MOG has been observed.
MOG is a key target of demyelinating autoantibodies in inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS, such as multiple sclerosis (MS).
