Importance of Intrathecal Synthesis of IgD in Multiple Sclerosis

IgT and IgD dominance in the teleost central nervous system

“…Interestingly, intrathecal synthesis of IgD has been reported in the CNS of patients with different type of neurological diseases including MS or bacterial and viral meningitis ( 72 ). Posterior studies demonstrated that this secreted IgD was especially important when MS was in a clinically active relapsing phase ( 73 ). Yet again, in rainbow trout, we have demonstrated the presence of IgD + B cells not only in the meninx layer but also in the CNS parenchyma.…”

Gene expression and alternative splicing analysis in a large-scale Multiple Sclerosis study

“…Axons are relatively preserved in the early stages of the disease; however, as the disease progresses, irreversible axonal damage develops [21]. Early studies of MS research focused on the intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis [22][23][24]. With the discovery of the risk alleles in the MHC region and the novel findings of T-cells, MS is thought to be T-celldriven [25,26].…”

Chelation Therapy Associated with Antioxidant Supplementation Can Decrease Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Multiple Sclerosis: Preliminary Results

“…It has already been reported that IL-6, TNFα, and IL-1β, are implicated as mediators of multiple sclerosis pathology. Axon injury may be triggered by the biological actions of increased cytokines; in particular, disease progression has been associated to altered levels of TNFα and IL-6 in cerebrospinal and/or serum [17][18][19]. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed at a low basal level in immune, endothelial, and epithelial cells, but in response to inflammatory stimulation, it is up-regulated [20].…”
