The most common laboratory abnormality in multiple sclerosis (MS) is an increased amount of cerebrospinal fluid IgG and the presence of oligoclonal bands. Despite studies of the humoral response that suggest the involvement of an infectious agent or autoantigen in disease, the major targets of the oligoclonal response are still unknown. Identification of these targets will reveal valuable insights into the cause and pathogenesis of MS and is likely to lead to effective treatment.
多发性硬化症(MS)最常见的实验室异常是脑脊液中IgG含量增加以及寡克隆带的出现。尽管对体液反应的研究表明病原体或自身抗原参与了疾病,但寡克隆反应的主要靶点仍然未知。确定这些靶点将为MS的病因和发病机制提供有价值的见解,并可能带来有效的治疗方法。
