General description

Monoclonal anti-oligodendrocyte marker O4 was produced from a hybridoma resulting from the fusion of a mouse myeloma with B cells obtained from a mouse immunized with white matter of the corpus callosum from bovine brain. Oligodendrocytes are myelinating cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that form the myelin sheath of axons to support rapid nerve conduction.

Immunogen
