Popis: To identify an antibody biomarker for prediction of conversion from radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) to relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).Sera of 13 RIS patients were screened by a protein macroarray derived from human fetal brain cDNA library.Sequencing of a clone with the highest signal intensity revealed sorcin as a potential target autoantigen in RIS patients. ELISA studies showed high-titer sorcin-antibodies in 3 of 4 RIS patients who converted to RRMS in a 5-year follow-up period and 13 of 23 control RRMS patients.The value of sorcin antibody as a predictor of conversion from RIS to RRMS requires to be tested in larger prospective studies.
