چکیده
The authors wish to clarify the methodological information for this paper. Regarding the patients included in the study, the patient samples that were from the Department of Neurology, AHEPA University Hospital (Thessaloniki, Greece) were included in the control groups. Specifically, 11 were included in the IND group, 4 in the NIND group, and 1 in the SC group. Regarding the parameters of the IgG index that were used in the analyses included in the study, i.e., IgG index, QIgG, QAlb: Because the individual values of IgG and albumin that are required for the calculation of the parameters above were missing from the patient files, the authors measured them in all of the samples in order to acquire the complete set of data needed for their analyses. This was done as follows:

متن کاملImmune Parameters That Distinguish Multiple Sclerosis Patients from Patients with Other Neurological Disorders at Presentation
BACKGROUND/AIM Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Effector T helper cells, mainly Th1 and Th17, cytotoxic T-cells, B-cells, macrophages, microglia, and the cytokines they secrete, are implicated in the initiation and maintenance of a deregulated immune response to myelin antigens and the ensuing immune-mediated demyelination. In this...
