Isoelectric point restriction of cerebrospinal fluid and serum IgG antibodies to measles virus polypeptides in multiple sclerosis. 1987

M J Walsh, and P Shapshak, and M C Graves, and D T Imagawa, and W W Tourtellotte

Thirty consecutive isoelectric point (pI)-discrete IgG fractions were isolated from multiple sclerosis (MS) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and used to immune precipitate measles virus (MV) polypeptides. Most basic fractions were enriched in activity against nucleocapsid protein (NP), and to a lesser extent against hemagglutinin (H) protein; intermediate fractions were enriched in activity against H and fusion (F) proteins; and more anodic pI fractions were almost exclusively enriched in activity against the large (L) protein of MV. In MS there are marked differences between CSF and autologous serum in regard to antibody activity to MV. In contrast, there were similar profiles of antibody response to MV proteins in SSPE CSF and serum.

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.

D013344 Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis A rare, slowly progressive encephalitis caused by chronic infection with the MEASLES VIRUS. The condition occurs primarily in children and young adults, approximately 2-8 years after the initial infection. A gradual decline in intellectual abilities and behavioral alterations are followed by progressive MYOCLONUS; MUSCLE SPASTICITY; SEIZURES; DEMENTIA; autonomic dysfunction; and ATAXIA. DEATH usually occurs 1-3 years after disease onset. Pathologic features include perivascular cuffing, eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions, neurophagia, and fibrous gliosis. It is caused by the SSPE virus, which is a defective variant of MEASLES VIRUS.
