Impaired measles virus-specific cytotoxic T cell responses in multiple sclerosis
To assess whether an virus-specific immune defect may be associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), we have examined the ability to generate measles virus-and influenza virus-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL) in patients with MS, normal individuals, and other disease controls (ODC). The mean (+/- SEM) measles virus-specific CTL response for normal individuals and ODC was 26.9 +/- 2.9% (N = 17) and...
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 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 کاملImpaired Hepatitis C Virus-Specific T Cell Responses and Recurrent Hepatitis C Virus in HIV Coinfection
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T cell responses are critical for spontaneous resolution of HCV viremia. Here we examined the effect of a lymphotropic virus, HIV-1, on the ability of coinfected patients to maintain spontaneous control of HCV infection. METHODS AND FINDINGS We measured T cell responsiveness by lymphoproliferation and interferon-gamma ELISPOT in a large cohort of HC...
متن کاملIncreased CD8+ cytotoxic T cell responses to myelin basic protein in multiple sclerosis.
Autoreactive T cells of CD4 and CD8 subsets recognizing myelin basic protein (MBP), a candidate myelin autoantigen, are thought to contribute to and play distinct roles in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study we identified four MBP-derived peptides that had high binding affinity to HLA-A2 and HLA-A24 and characterized the CD8(+) T cell responses and their functional proper...
