Influence of measles virus antigen on leukocyte migration in multiple sclerosis and controls. 1978

J Kinnman, and H Link, and E Möller, and E Norrby

The leukocyte migration inhibiton test was used in multiple sclerosis patients and in healthy controls for investigation of sensitization of blood lymphocytes against preparations of measles virus, mumps, NDV virus, and PPD. Regardless of antigen used, no significant differences were found between the groups. There was a strong correlation between the leukocyte migration inhibition obtained with measles virus antigen and with PPD. The leukocytes from MS patients as well as from healthy controls showed a significantly more pronounced inhibiton when a Tween 80 and ether-treated preparation of measles virus was used, compared with the whole measles virus antigen. No correlations were found between the degree of leukocyte migration inhibition and the antibody titers against different components of measles virus in individual samples.

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
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.

D002464 Cell Migration Inhibition Phenomenon of cell-mediated immunity measured by in vitro inhibition of the migration or phagocytosis of antigen-stimulated LEUKOCYTES or MACROPHAGES. Specific CELL MIGRATION ASSAYS have been developed to estimate levels of migration inhibitory factors, immune reactivity against tumor-associated antigens, and immunosuppressive effects of infectious microorganisms.
