Ett positivt laddat protein i det perifera nervsystemets myelin. Med känslig immunteknik har det visats att P2 uttrycks i små mängder i myelinskidor i CNS hos en del arter. Det är ett antigen för experimentell allergisk neurit, det perifera nervsystemets motsvarighet till experimentell allergisk encefalomyelit.
A positively charged protein found in peripheral nervous system MYELIN. Sensitive immunological techniques have demonstrated that P2 is expressed in small amounts of central nervous system myelin sheaths of some species. It is an antigen for experimental allergic neuritis (NEURITIS, EXPERIMENTAL ALLERGIC), the peripheral nervous system counterpart of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.
