The Pathogenesis Of Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: Antibody-Mediated Attack And No Repair? [PDF]
Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) differs from the more common form of MS which has an initial relapsing-remitting course in a number of ways, including pathological features, clinical course, differential diagnosis and response to treatment ...

Dysbiosis and Therapeutic Modulation of the Gut Microbiota in Multiple Sclerosis: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a persistent autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. The etiology of MS is complex, involving a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Mounting evidence suggests that dysbiosis significantly impacts the progression of MS mainly through its direct effects upon the immune ...

Absence of system xc⁻ on immune cells invading the central nervous system alleviates experimental autoimmune encephalitis [PDF]
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), leading to neurodegeneration and chronic disability.

ABSTRACT In multiple sclerosis (MS), demyelination is often accompanied by severe motor and cognitive disability. Remyelination is the process of regenerating new myelin sheath on impaired axons, which is typically carried out by oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs).

In the central nervous system (CNS) the main proteins of myelin are proteolipid protein (PLP), myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and CNPase. Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein is a minor component of the myelin sheath,

B cell clonal expansion and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oligoclonal IgG bands are established features of the immune response in multiple sclerosis (MS). Clone-specific recombinant monoclonal IgG1 Abs (rAbs) derived from MS patient CSF plasmablasts bound ...

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an established animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Inflammatory CD4+ T cell responses directed against CNS antigens, including myelin proteolipid protein (PLP), are key mediators of EAE.

Viral-induced neurodegenerative disease. [PDF]
Viral etiology has been postulated in a variety of neurological diseases in humans, including multiple sclerosis. Several experimental animal models of viral-induced neurodegenerative disease provide insight into potential host- and pathogen-dependent ...

Antigen‐specific TCR‐α clonotype frequencies in MS and HC groups. (A) Heatmap of CDR3 TCR‐α clonotype annotations. (B) Comparative analysis of CDR3 TCR‐α clonotypes targeting viral and autoimmune‐related antigens, including VP22, p65, NS4B, MLANA, M1, HA and BST2. NS3‐HCV‐specific CDR3 clonotypes are significantly enriched in MS patients.

Myelin proteolipid proteins promote the interaction of oligodendrocytes and axons
Although proteolipid protein (PLP) and its DM20 isoform are the major membrane proteins of CNS myelin, their absence causes surprisingly few developmental defects. In comparison, missense mutations of the X-linked Plp gene cause severe dysmyelination. Previous studies have established roles for PLP/DM20 in the formation of the intraperiod line and in ...
