Abstract

Converging data suggest that nitric oxide (NO) production by cytokine-induced immune cells in demyelinating lesions is involved in multiple sclerosis (MS). High levels of NO may complex to suitable amino acids, causing an immune response against the formed neo-epitopes. By testing MS sera with chemically defined nitroso-amino acids conjugated to carrier protein in ELISA, we observed a significant antibody reaction against the S-nitroso-cysteine epitope. The MS antibody response was exclusively of IgM isotype with an avidity of 8 x 10(-7) M. Sera of all clinical MS forms showed a significantly elevated antibody titer versus sera from healthy subjects or from patients affected with other neurological and autoimmune diseases. The detection of circulating antibodies to a conjugated S-nitroso-cysteine epitope provides indirect evidence for NO involvement in MS.

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.
