MOG and multiple sclerosis: This led us to perform a wide-ranging screen for expression of MOG alternative splicing using svPCR in various human tissues (adrenal gland, liver, bone marrow, fetal liver, kidney, lung, placenta, prostate, salivary gland, skeletal muscle, spleen, testis, thymus, thyroid, trachea, uterus, colon, small intestine and stomach), blood fractions and in brain tissue (cerebrum – normal appearing white matter) from individuals with multiple sclerosis and from controls.
