Longitudinal analysis of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies in CNS inflammatory diseases

Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibodies Spectrum Disorders

Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) is an adhesive molecule responsible for myelin sheath structural integrity and maintenance. Patients with spectrum of inflammatory demyelinating disease particularly in central nervous system are reported to have antibodies against this protein. Diseases such as multiple sclerosis, clinically isolated syndrome, neuro-myelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disor...

Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein: Deciphering a Target in Inflammatory Demyelinating Diseases

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, is a myelin protein solely expressed at the outermost surface of myelin sheaths and oligodendrocyte membranes. This makes MOG a potential target of cellular and humoral immune responses in inflammatory demyelinating diseases. Due to its late postnatal developmental expression, MOG is an important marker ...

Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Suppression of Inflammatory Responses

Elevated 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...

Antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein in idiopathic optic neuritis

OBJECTIVES To investigate the differences of clinical features, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), MRI findings and response to steroid therapies between patients with optic neuritis (ON) who have myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies and those who have seronegative ON. SETTING We recruited participants in the department of neurology and ophthalmology in our hospital in Japan. METHOD...
