  • Title: Immunological aspects of demyelination.
    Author: Steck AJ.
    Journal: Bull Schweiz Akad Med Wiss; ; ():109-12. PubMed ID: 6191816.
    Abstract:
    Important progresses made recently have allowed the development of markers that can be used to characterize the myelin oligodendrocyte compartment. Application of these immunological methods to the investigation of a wide range of disorders of the nervous system has proved extremely valuable. The author selects one example that concerns a group of demyelinating neuropathy associated with a monoclonal protein and presents evidence suggesting that one myelin constituent, a myelin associated glycoprotein, may induce autoimmunity in humans.
