In addition to myelin basic protein (MBP), other minor components of myelin, such as myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), may be important autoantigens in MS. To determine whether MAG might be involved in an autoimmune reaction in MS, we screened peripheral blood lymphocytes from MS patients and normal subjects for their sensitization to human MBP and MAG antigen using a [3H]thymidine incorporation assay. We recorded three patterns in MS patients: (1) patients who responded neither to MAG nor to MBP (4/11); (2) patients who responded to both MBP and MAG (5/11); and (3) patients who gave an exclusive response to MAG (2/11). The 10 healthy controls did not respond to either MAG or MBP. That some individuals with MS expressed a specific response against MAG and that more than 50% of MS patients expressed a sensitization to MAG suggest that MAG may have a role in the pathogenesis of MS.

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.

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.

D004676 Myelin Basic Protein An abundant cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in the structure of multilamellar myelin. Myelin basic protein binds to the cytosolic sides of myelin cell membranes and causes a tight adhesion between opposing cell membranes.

D006681 HLA-D Antigens Human immune-response or Class II antigens found mainly, but not exclusively, on B-lymphocytes and produced from genes of the HLA-D locus. They are extremely polymorphic families of glycopeptides, each consisting of two chains, alpha and beta. This group of antigens includes the -DR, -DQ and -DP designations, of which HLA-DR is most studied; some of these glycoproteins are associated with certain diseases, possibly of immune etiology.
