Abstract
The presence of measles antibodies in serum immunoglobulin G fractions from seven patients affected with multiple sclerosis was investigated with the HI technic. The κ-λ light chain ratios of all samples under investigation were evaluated. Three multiple sclerosis patients, who displayed either fractionation or a tendency towards fractionation in their serum, had slightly elevated measles antibody titers associated to increased κ/λ ratios. Masern-Antikörper in Immunoglobulin-G-Fraktionen aus Seren von sieben Patienten mit Multipler Sklerose wurden mit der HI-Technik untersucht. Die Relation von leichter κ zu leichter λ wurde berechnet. Drei Multiple-Sklerose-Patienten, die entweder Immunoglobulin-Unterfraktionen oder eine Tendenz zu Unterfraktionen in ihren Seren aufwiesen, hatten eine leicht erhöhte Masern-Antikörper-Aktivität zugleich mit erhöhter κ/λ.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
