  • Title: [Initial experiences with the Reiber 1979 determination of autochthonous IgG production within the scope of clinical and immunologic follow-up studies in multiple sclerosis treated with immunosuppressive therapy].
    Author: Dachsel R, Köppel C.
    Journal: Psychiatr Neurol Med Psychol (Leipz); 1989 Jul; 41(7):420-5. PubMed ID: 2772076.
    Abstract:
    We carried out clinical and immunological follows-up to 21 patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, 16 of whom had been immunosuppressively treated. A remission in clinical way was possible to point out with 8 of 12 patients (66%) -average remission by 1 score acc. to the Bronx-Scale- and with these patients a local formation of immunoglobulin acc. to Reiber (1979) could be proven. With 40 to 60% of the patients pathological changes were found out by determining of routine parameters by means of liquor examinations (total number of cells, sediment, total protein, electrophoresis) in which the humoral values responded not so sensitively to immunosuppressive therapy than the cellular values. For the present, liquor- and immunodiagnostic is being considered as a solid part of diagnostic programm and therapy control with regard to patients suffering from multiple sclerosis.
