چکیده

Myco-like viruses have been isolated from fungi, feces of various animals, and plant leaves. We report here the isolation of 3 complete genome sequences of gemycircularvirus-related viruses from healthy bovine serum and human brain and serum samples from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Their putative capsid proteins share similarity to Torque teno virus (TTV) open reading frame 1 (ORF1) proteins.

ANTIBODY TO MITOCHONDRIAL COMPLEX-I IN SOME PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

When pooled immunoglobulin G (IgG) from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) was used to probe a human fetal spinal cord λgt 11 cDNA library, the IgG was found to bind to a predicted epitope of human mitochondrial ND4 sequence. To investigate the involvement of the ND4 as an autoantigen in MS, we determined the presence of specific antibody in the serum of MS patients and serum samples of...
