title: Degradation of encephalitogenic protein in aerobic ascorbic acid solutions.
abstract: Aerobic ascorbic acid solutions are capable of extensively cleaving the peptide chain of the myelin basic protein. Cleavage occurred most readily with C-terminal to aspartic acid, serine, threonine, glutamic acid and leucine residues.
