Among 22 patients with human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated chronic progressive myelopathy, agarose isoelectric focusing (AIF) revealed oligoclonal IgG bands in 21: in 3 in CSF only; in 11 in CSF and to some extent in serum; and in 7, identical patterns in CSF and serum. By immunoblot after AIF of CSF and serum, we observed bands of anti-HTLV-I IgG antibodies in 19 patients: in 5 in CSF only; in 9 in CSF and partly in serum; and in 5, identical in CSF and serum. Oligoclonal anti-HTLV-I IgG antibody bands could only partly be traced to oligoclonal IgG bands. If, prior to AIF, serum and CSF were absorbed with HTLV-I antigen, practically all oligoclonal HTLV-I-specific IgG antibody activity was abolished, while the oligoclonal pattern of total IgG was affected only to a minor extent. Alongside with HTLV-I-specific oligoclonal B cell response, HTLV-I myelopathy is regularly accompanied by production of oligoclonal IgG of unknown antibody specificities.

D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
