RESUMO
@#ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical value of anti-myelin basic protein (MBP) antibody in multiple sclerosis (MS).MethodsDetect the anti-MBP antibody in serum of 56 patients with MS, 30 patients with other neurological diseases (OND)and 36 normal control(NC).ResultsThe positive rate were 78.6% of MS, 50% of OND. There was significant difference amonge MS, OND and NC.ConclusionAnti-MBP antibody detection maybe provided evidence for the diagnosis and therapy of MS.
RESUMO
Objective:To detect serum antibody to CJ in GBS patients with LPS purified from CJ strains (CJ LPS) and total CJ constituents (CJ T) as antigens and to deduce whether LPS is surely the epitope of CJ in the induction of CJ antibodies from the difference between the positive rates of both the two assays with CJ LPS and CJ T and from the concordance rates of the positive cases Methods:Sera from 81 GBS patients, 34 patients with other neurological diseases (OND) and 63 normal controls (NC) were tested with CJ LPS and CJ T by indirect ELISA method CJ LPS was purified by phenol water extraction method from 15 CJ strains of various Penner serotypes, including those isolated from GBS patients CJ T was made by collecting the heat stable constituents of CJ Results:The positively infective rate of GBS were 51 9% by CJ LPS and 56 8% by CJ T antigens There is significant difference between GBS and NC in both assays, as well as OND There is no difference between the positively infective rate of GBS patients detected with the two sets of antigens and between concordance rates of the positive cases Conclusion:High incidence of GBS following CJ infection was confirmed once more, and LPS is probably one of the epitopes of CJ in the induction of CJ antibodies
