Neuroimmunomodulatory effect of antibodies against GABA on acute generalized and chronic epileptiform activity

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

We studied the possibility of induction of anti-GABA autoantibodies during chronic epileptization of the brain and the effect of systemic intraperitoneal administration of anti-GABA antibodies to C57Bl/6 mice on acute generalized and chronic epileptiform activity. It was found for the first time that chronic epileptization is accompanied by induction of anti-GABA autoantibody synthesis. Antibodies against GABA produced a proepileptic effect.
