Use of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and its peptide moieties in a protocol related to autoimmune disease (USERS OF MYELIN OLIGODENDROCYTE GLYCOPROTEIN AND PEPTIDE PORTIONS THEROF IN PROTOCOLS RELATED TO AUTOIMMUNE DESEASE)
Use of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and its peptide moieties in a protocol related to autoimmune disease (USERS OF MYELIN OLIGODENDROCYTE GLYCOPROTEIN AND PEPTIDE PORTIONS THEROF IN PROTOCOLS RELATED TO AUTOIMMUNE DESEASE)
The present invention provides a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence encoding a human MOG that is a self-homologous to a demyelinated autoimmune disease. The present invention also provides a recombinantly produced human MOG or antigen thereof. Antigen fragments of MOG that can be synthetically produced represent T cell epitopes of human MOG. MOG and its fragments are useful for diagnosing and treating autoimmune diseases. In addition, methods of screening and developing therapeutic agents useful for the treatment of autoimmune diseases are also disclosed.
