MOG (35-55) (human) is a truncated fragment of human myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), the transmembrane glycoprotein expressed at the surface of oligodendrocyte cells and on the outermost surface of the myelin sheath, which can be used for the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mouse and rat models. In contrast to MOG (35-55) (rat), Mog (35-55) (human) is only weakly encephalitogenic but both induce antibodies that are equivalent in titer and IgG subclass, demonstrating that EAE can be induced in C57BL/6 mice by two different mechanisms
