Antibody cross-reactivity between myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and the milk protein butyrophilin in multiple sclerosis.
The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is believed to involve environmental factors, but their identity and mode of action are unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that Ab specific for the extracellular Ig-like domain of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) cross-reacts with a homologous N-terminal domain of the bovine milk protein butyrophilin (BTN). Analysis of paired samples of MS se...
متن کاملSignaling cascades activated upon antibody cross-linking of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein: potential implications for multiple sclerosis.
Antibody-induced demyelination is an important component of pathology in multiple sclerosis. In particular, antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) are elevated in multiple sclerosis patients, and they have been implicated as mediators of demyelination. We have shown previously that antibody cross-linking of MOG in oligodendrocytes results in the repartitioning of MOG into glyco...
متن کاملCross-reactivity between related sequences found in Acinetobacter sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, myelin basic protein and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein in multiple sclerosis.
To investigate the possible role of molecular mimicry to bacterial components in multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis we examined antibody responses to mimicry peptide sequences of Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and myelin components. Antibodies to mimicry peptides from Acinetobacter (p<0.001), P. aeruginosa (p<0.001), myelin basic protein (MBP) (p<0.001) and myelin oligodendrocyte glyco...
متن کاملElevated intrathecal myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies in multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and control individuals. DESIGN Prospective case-control series. SETTING Academic referral center. PATIENTS Twenty-six controls with noninflammatory neurologic disease and 35 patients with MS donated serum and CSF for recombinant...
متن کاملAnti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies in multiple sclerosis.
Can serum antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) be used as a marker of multiple sclerosis (MS) or to predict the course of MS? Recent articles present conflicting data in response to these questions. Berger et al.1 tested for presence of serum antibodies to MOG in patients experiencing a first clinically isolated syndrome suggestive of MS. Those who progressed almost invariabl...
