To determine the frequency and relevance of IgM, and IgA antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in MOG-IgG-associated disease.
Evaluation of IgM, and IgA MOG antibodies in serum of 120 patients with MOG-IgG (53 pediatric and 67 adults), and 114 patients with seronegative-MOG-IgG (35 children with first demyelinating syndrome, 20 adults with clinically isolated syndrome, and 59 adults with other diseases). Antibodies were examined by cell-based assays.
IgM or IgA MOG antibodies were identified in 23/120 (19%) patients with MOG-IgG (13/53 [24.5%] pediatric, and 10/67 [15%] adult patients), and 2/114 (1.7%) patients with seronegative-MOG-IgG (2/35 [5.7%] pediatric patients). Of the 25 patients, 14 had IgA, 9 IgM, and 2 both antibodies. Fourteen of the 15 (93%) children with IgM (4), IgA (9), or both (2) had acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and 7 of the 10 (70%) adults with IgM (5) or IgA (5) had optic neuritis at onset. At the last follow-up, the final diagnoses remained as ADEM in 14 (100%) children and optic neuritis in 6 (86%) adults. The outcome was not different between patients with or without additional classes of antibodies.
Coexisting IgM and IgA antibodies occurs in 19% of children and adult patients with MOG-IgG-associated disease. The presence of these antibodies does not seem to play a relevant clinical role in the disorder.
确定髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白(MOG)免疫球蛋白 M(IgM)和免疫球蛋白 A(IgA)抗体在 MOG-IgG 相关疾病中的频率和相关性。
评估 120 例 MOG-IgG(53 例儿科和 67 例成人)和 114 例 MOG-IgG 阴性患者(35 例首发脱髓鞘综合征儿童、20 例临床孤立综合征成人和 59 例其他疾病成人)血清中的 IgM 和 IgA MOG 抗体。通过细胞为基础的检测方法进行抗体检测。
在 120 例 MOG-IgG 患者(53 例儿科,67 例成人)中有 23 例(19%)发现 IgM 或 IgA MOG 抗体,在 114 例 MOG-IgG 阴性患者中有 2 例(1.7%)发现(2 例儿科患者)。在 25 例患者中,有 14 例为 IgA,9 例为 IgM,2 例为两种抗体。15 例有 IgM(4 例)、IgA(9 例)或两种抗体(2 例)的儿童中,14 例(93%)患有急性播散性脑脊髓炎(ADEM),10 例有 IgM(5 例)或 IgA(5 例)的成人中有 7 例(70%)患有视神经炎。在最后一次随访时,14 例儿童的最终诊断仍为 ADEM,6 例成人的最终诊断仍为视神经炎。有无其他类型抗体的患者之间的预后无差异。
MOG-IgG 相关疾病的儿童和成年患者中存在同时存在 IgM 和 IgA 抗体,这些抗体的存在在该疾病中似乎没有发挥重要的临床作用。
