Circulating antibody to myelin basic protein in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis? A comparative group and sequential study by radioimmunoassay

J A Biggins et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1978 Dec.

Abstract

Sera from multiple sclerosis patients with relapsing-remitting disease and normal subjects were tested for antibody to myelin basic protein by a sensitive radioimmunoassay. The results showed a marginally decreased titre in multiple sclerosis superimposed on a seasonal variation. There was no correlation with the clinical state of the patients. Results are discussed briefly in relation to humoral antibody function in multiple sclerosis and experimental autoimmune encephalitis.
