High Human T Cell Leukemia Virus Type-1(HTLV-1) Provirus Load in Patients with HTLV-1 Carriers Complicated with HTLV-1-unrelated disorders

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2010
Background To address the clinical and virological significance of a high HTLV-1 proviral load (VL) in practical blood samples from asymptomatic and symptomatic carriers, we simultaneously examined VL and clonal expansion status using polymerase chain ...

Age-related increase of kynurenic acid in human cerebrospinal fluid-IgG and beta(2)-microglobulin changes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous metabolite in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation and is an antagonist at the glycine site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate as well as at the alpha 7 nicotinic cholinergic receptors. In the brain tissue KYNA

Evaluation of semi-automatic image analysis tools for cerebrospinal fluid electrophoresis of IgG oligoclonal bands

open access: yesPractical Laboratory Medicine, 2018
Background: IgG concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid generally range from 20 to 45 mg/L. In multiple sclerosis immune reactions lead to intrathecal synthesis of specific IgGs that can be detected in biological fluid samples both quantitatively and ...

CSF Testing for Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
New diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) were published in 2001 by McDonald and colleagues. These criteria take account of the clinical features, brain and spinal-cord MRI findings, CSF findings, and visual evoked-potential studies.

The MMP‐9/TIMP‐1 Ratio and Concentrations of Osteopontin Are Elevated in Cerebrospinal Fluid of People With Multiple Sclerosis and Decrease After Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 442-452, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the utility of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers—matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐1 (TIMP‐1), the MMP‐9/TIMP‐1 ratio, and osteopontin (OPN)—as indicators of blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity and disease activity in people with relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (pwMS ...

The Relationship Between Inflammation and Central Nervous System in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 488-503, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune demyelination disease that is seen especially in the young population and has a progressive course, causing motor, sensory, and cognitive deficits. In the literature, the pathogenesis of MS disease and the interconnection between the immune and central nervous system in the disease have not been fully ...

A multicenter study on the diagnostic significance of a single cerebrospinal fluid IgG band [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The analysis of paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples with isolectric focusing (IEF) can yield different patterns which can be of aid in the differential diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
