MBP is present in the central and peripheral nervous system, the antibody reacts with soft tissue tumors. MBP has been demonstrated in neuromas, neurofibromas, and neurogenic sarcomas; other spindle cell neoplasms do not stain with this antibody. Immunoreactivity for anti-MBP in granular cell tumors strengthens the concept of a Schwann cell derivation of these lesions. Unlike other nervous system proteins e.g., GFAP and S-100, MBP has not been demonstrated in melanocytes or tumors derived from them.
