Effect of passive transfer of human anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein IgM in marmoset

Autoimmunity
S DanceaJ C Brouet

Abstract

Adult and one week old marmosets were injected intravenously within a one month period or intraperitoneally within a 6 week period respectively, with monoclonal IgM having an anti-myelin associated glycoprotein antibody activity. No clinical or electrophysiological abnormalities could be detected in experimental animals. However, indirect immunofluorescence studies showed IgM deposition in close contact to myelin sheaths. Minor but distinct alterations of nerves were found in the adult: the enlargement of Schmidt-Lanterman incisures seen in electron microscopy could explain the decrease of the proportion of fibers of small diameter found by morphometry of semi-thin section, and the reduction of the mean internodal length in fibers of a given diameter seen in teased nerve fibers studies.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected.
