In vitro lymphocyte transformation of MS patients to paramyxovirus antigens. 1977

S Cunningham-Rundles, and B Dupont, and J B Posner, and J A Hansen, and R A Good

The immune response of 21 MS patients and 21 healthy volunteers was tested in vitro lymphocyte transformation assay. The stimulating antigens were measles, mumps, parainfluenza, E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans. MS patients were found to respond similarly to the normal controls to all antigens tested with the exception of mumps antigen. The maximum responses of the MS patients to this antigen were significantly lower than those observed for the normals. However, since 95 per cent of the MS lower maximum responses were still within the positive range, the immunological significance of this phenomenon will require further clarification.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008459 Measles virus The type species of MORBILLIVIRUS and the cause of the highly infectious human disease MEASLES, which affects mostly children. Edmonston virus
D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
