| Research Abstract |
A method for detecting the injury site of peripheral nervous system is not available whereas several examinations are available for that of central nervous system. In the present study, we reported that a peptide derived from ML-LBP21, a protein originated from M. Leprae, binded to the surface of the Schwann cells. Using this peptide as a marker of the injury site, we may detect the injury site of peripheral nervous system.
