  • Title: Multiple sclerosis: oligoclonal IgG, kappa-lambda light chain distribution and measles antibodies in brain extracts.
    Author: Bollengier F, Mahler A, Clinet G, Lowenthal A.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1978 Aug 18; 152(1):133-44. PubMed ID: 98212.
    Abstract:
    The presence of measles antibodies in white and grey brain material and in 8 demyelination plaques from 6 patients affected with multiple sclerosis was investigated with the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and complement fixation (CF) techniques. White and grey matter of 5 controls were run in parallel. No measles antibodies could be detected, except for one plaque, where the answer could be considered as doubtful. The immunoglobulin G (IgG) content and the kappa/lambda light chain ratios of all the samples were evaluated. No unique monoclonal immunoglobulin population could be detected, but kappa or lambda predominant oligoclonal populations appeared in controls as well as in MS IgG.
