Preferred Label : myelin p2 protein;
MeSH definition : 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. (From Siegel et al., Basic
Neurochemistry, 5th ed, p133);
