Susceptibility to multiple sclerosis is associated with the human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR2 (DRB1*1501) haplotype. The structure of HLA-DR2 was determined with a bound peptide from human myelin basic protein (MBP) that is immunodominant for human MBP-specific T cells. Residues of MBP peptide that are important for T cell receptor recognition are prominent, solvent exposed r...
IgG class antibodies reactive with myelin basic protein (MBP) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 37 patients with multiple sclerosis and a control group of 32 patients with tension headache or psychoneurosis. Using standardised amounts of IgG from CSF and serum in ELISA, significantly higher mean antibody levels were found in C...
Preoligodendrocytes have been described in cultures and tissue prints of adult human white matter (Armstrong et al., 1992). To characterize further these precursors of human oligodendrocytes, we have investigated whether they express genes playing a critical role in oligodendrocyte development. In the intact human brain, platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGF alpha R) and myelin tr...
APC exposed to TGFbeta2 and Ag (tolerogenic APC) promote peripheral Ag-specific tolerance via the induction of CD8(+) T regulatory cells capable of suppressing Th1 and Th2 immunity. We postulated that tolerogenic APC might reinstate tolerance toward self-neuronal Ags and ameliorate ongoing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Seven days after immunization with myelin basic protein (...
Active immunisation with rubella vaccine has not been commonly associated with neurological complications. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who developed a mild, distal demyelinating neuropathy after immunisation with the live attenuated RA 27/3 rubella strain. Post-immunisation immunologic studies carried over 24 months showed the presence of antibodies to the RV proteins, particularl...
CSF levels of myelin basic protein (MBP) and intrathecally produced CSF IgG (de novo IgG) were measured in 11 chronic progressive multiple sclerosis patients with a deteriorating course of the disease for at least 6 months preceding observation and a reference group of 17 neurological patients suffering from disc herniation. In the multiple sclerosis patients, CSF levels were determined just be...
The NH2-terminal peptide of myelin basic protein (MBP) bound to the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein I-Au is an immunodominant epitope in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a murine model of multiple sclerosis. However, the MBP-I-Au complex is very unstable. To investigate this, we performed site-directed mutagenesis of the I-Au MHC protein and the MBP peptide. Bi...
Myelin is probably one of the most fascinating and innovative biological acquisition: a glia plasma membrane tightly wrapped around an axon and insulating it. Chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes) form a large group of vertebrates, and they are among oldest extant jawed vertebrate lineage. It has been known from studies 150 years ago, that they are positioned at the root of the successful appe...
introduction: spinal cord injuries are accompanied with significant demyelination of axons and subsequent locomotor dysfunction. to identify the extent of damage following electrolytic lesion of ventrolateral white matter, essential area for initiation of locomotor activity, we assessed demyelination as well as alteration in motor performance. moreover, the protective effect of estradiol as a c...
The substrate specificity of phospholipid/Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) was studied using synthetic peptides, in particular those corresponding to the amino acid sequence around serine 115 in bovine myelin basic protein (MBP). It was found that MBP(104-118) and MBP(104-123) were substrates for the enzyme, with apparent K,,, values of 14 and 10 BM, respectively. Neither MBP(11...
