Measles and other virus-specific immunoglobulins in multiple sclerosis.
Immunoglobulins M and G specific for meales, herpes simplex, and rubella viruses were assayed by the fluorescent antibody method in sera and cerebrospinal fluids (C.S.F.) obtained simultaneously from 30 patients with multiple sclerosis, 30 patients with other neurological diseases, and 30 "normal" control subjects. Sera of 11 out of 30 patients with multiple sclerosis had IgM which reacted spec...
متن کاملMeasles virus-specific IgG in cerebrospinal fluid in multiple sclerosis.
The prevalence of measles virus-specific IgG in cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F.) of patients with multiple sclerosis (M.S.) has been compared with that in fluids from patients with other neurological diseases and from normal control subjects. The prevalence in the three groups was 58.1%, 24.1%, and 0% respectively. Fivefold concentration of the specimens increased the prevalence in the first two gr...
متن کاملMeasles, mumps, and rubella.
Measles, mumps, and rubella are viral diseases that may adversely affect nonimmune pregnant women and their fetuses/neonates. Prevention of these diseases and their complications can be achieved through measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination before pregnancy. The vaccine is contraindicated during pregnancy, because it contains live, attenuated viruses that pose a theoretical risk to the fetus....
متن کاملHemadsorption immunosorbent technique for determination of mumps immunoglobulin M antibody.
We used hemadsorption immunosorbent technique (HIT) to detect mumps immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody. IgM from human sera was adsorbed into anti-human IgM-coated wells in plates, and mumps-specific IgM was detected by adding mumps virus hemagglutinin and guinea pig erythrocytes consecutively. Specific IgM-positive sera showed hemadsorption, whereas negative sera showed hemagglutination. All 81 p...
متن کاملComparison of immunofluorescence and enzyme immunoassay for detection of measles-specific immunoglobulin M antibody.
During a measles outbreak, 283 serum specimens from 221 suspected cases of measles were tested by immunofluorescence and enzyme immunoassay for the presence of measles-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies by using commercially available reagents. There was 97% agreement between the two assays; thus, the choice of the method for diagnostic testing is a matter of convenience and experience....
