Circulating levels of IgM anti-CD64, an immunosuppressive antibody recently identified in long-term stable multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, were found to fluctuate over time in MS patients. Antibody-positive patients showed a significantly lower annualized relapse rate value as well as reached sustained disability worsening and had a relapse in a significantly longer median time than those without antibody. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) only were the covariate influencing both the relapse occurrence and the disability accrual. Serum IgM anti-CD64 levels are associated with maintenance of clinical stability in MS and may be tested as a candidate biomarker predictive of benign course and favourable long-term response to DMTs treatment.
循环 IgM 抗 CD64 水平在多发性硬化症(MS)患者中不断波动。这种免疫抑制性抗体最近在长期稳定的 MS 患者中被发现。抗体阳性患者的年化复发率明显较低,达到持续性残疾恶化,并在明显更长的中位时间内复发,而抗体阴性患者则没有。疾病修正治疗(DMT)是唯一影响复发发生和残疾累积的协变量。血清 IgM 抗 CD64 水平与 MS 的临床稳定性维持有关,可作为一种候选生物标志物进行检测,以预测疾病的良性过程和对 DMT 治疗的有利长期反应。
