Sera and CSF from 29 patients in early and late stages of HIV infection were analysed for intrathecal antibody production. Elevated CSF-IgG indices indicating intrathecal IgG synthesis were demonstrated in 9 patients while 4 of 18 patients tested had oligoclonal IgG bands in the CSF. Analysis of HIV-specific antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (whole antigen and site-directed ELISA) and calculation of "antibody indices" (CSF/serum antibody quotient divided by CSF/serum albumin quotient) indicated intrathecal HIV antibody synthesis in 19 patients. Analysis of serum and CSF antibodies by an imprint immunofixation (IIF) method showed intrathecal synthesis of predominantly polyclonal HIV-IgG antibodies in 11 of 13 patients examined. IIF analysis of antibodies to six other infectious agents showed no intrathecal antibody production except in one patient who had minor fractions of intrathecally synthesized IgG antibodies to varicella zoster virus. The present results demonstrate that an intrathecal HIV-specific antibody response may be present in both early and late stages of HIV infection, and indicates that HIV may reach the brain at an early stage of infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007142 Immunoglobulin gamma-Chains Heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G having a molecular weight of approximately 51 kDa. They contain about 450 amino acid residues arranged in four domains and an oligosaccharide component covalently bound to the Fc fragment constant region. The gamma heavy chain subclasses (for example, gamma 1, gamma 2a, and gamma 2b) of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN G isotype subclasses (IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B) resemble each other more closely than the heavy chains of the other IMMUNOGLOBULIN ISOTYPES.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
