mannose-binding lectin mediated complement pathway in autoimmune neurological disorders
multiple sclerosis (ms) is a complex, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (cns) with variable phenotypic presentations, while guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) is the prototypic acute inflammatory disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system. myasthenia gravis (mg) is a t cell dependent and antibody mediated autoimmune disease. although it has been shown that complement plays...
متن کاملKappa free light chains in cerebrospinal fluid as markers of intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis.
BACKGROUND Intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis is observed in several inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system, but its detection by current laboratory tests is either tedious or relatively insensitive. We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of an assay for kappa free light chains (kappaFLC) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum, and compared it with traditional tests for intrathecal...
متن کاملThe Lectin Pathway of Complement and Rheumatic Heart Disease
The innate immune system is the first line of host defense against infection and is comprised of humoral and cellular mechanisms that recognize potential pathogens within minutes or hours of entry. The effector components of innate immunity include epithelial barriers, phagocytes, and natural killer cells, as well as cytokines and the complement system. Complement plays an important role in the...
متن کاملMagnesium exchange between blood and cerebrospinal fluid.
OPPELT, W. W., I. MACINTYRE, AND D. P. RALL. Magnesium exchange between blood and cerebrospinal @id. Am. J. Physiol. 205(s) : 959-962. 1 g63.-Magnesium exchange between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied in dogs using Mg2*C12 and MgClz. Normal CSF/plasma magnesium ratio in this animal is I .34. In face of a plasma magnesium concentration 300-400~~ of normal, the CSF magnesium only...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid immunoglobulins and complement in meningococcal meningitis.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM) were measured in 107 patients with meningococcal meningitis. Levels were correlated significantly with CSF total protein, and both CSF immunoglobulin and protein increased with age. C3 was measured in the CSF of 38 patients and was also closely correlated with the CSF protein level. C3 breakdown products were found in all six CSFs tested...
