=====Myelin basic protein=====
Myelin basic protein (MBP) and [[proteolipid protein]] (PLP) were highly expressed in all [[oligodendroglioma]]s and minimally expressed in [[glioblastoma multiforme]]. MBP was highly expressed in mixed [[oligoastrocytoma]]s, whereas PLP expression was minimal. The association between tumor classification and expression of the MBP and PLP genes was statistically significant. Expression of these genes may serve as a useful molecular marker for some subtypes of human [[glioma]]s
