Summary
The possible mitogenic effects of a number of preparations of the myelin basic protein (MBP) of human brain have been investigated in various cell types in culture, including human amniotic fluid cells. Intact human MBP, as well as fragments derived by BNPS-skatole and cathepsin D treatment, and isoelectric focusing fractions of human MBP, showed no mitogenic activity. These results are consistent with recent findings that the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) activity of bovine brain does not originate from MBP.
