| Popis: | Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was obtained from 50 neurological patients, 26 of whom suffered from multiple sclerosis (MS). Agar gel electrophoresis and determination of anti-measles antibody titre were performed on the CSF samples. The frequency of elevated measles antibody titre was higher among the MS patients than among the patients with other neurological diseases. Furthermore, oligoclonal IgG in CSF occurred more often among the MS patients than among the other neurological patients. An association between high measles antibody titre and the presence of oligoclonal IgG was observed in CSF from both the MS patients and the patients with other neurological diseases. However, the nature of the correlation between occurrence of oligoclonal IgG and high measles antibody titre remains to be explained. |
