Abstract

Numerous works have brought evidence for the role of immune humoral factors and cytotoxic lymphocytes in the physiopathology of acute and progressive phases of multiple sclerosis (MS)1,2. Antibodies against myelin3, oligodendrocytes4 or with demyelinating properties5, immune complexes6 and changes in blood or cerebrospinal fluid of T cell distribution are observed principally during active MS7–9. Also, neuroelectrical blocking IgG antibodies are discovered in MS blood10. Furthermore, fragments of neuro-antigens are episodically released11.
