Cell-mediated immunity in idiopathic polyneuritis.

A Iqbal, J J Oger, B G Arnason

    Annals of Neurology
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Idiopathic polyneuritis (IP) may stem from reduced suppressor T cell activity. Researchers found no antibodies against P2 protein in IP patients, suggesting other causes for this nerve disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimmunology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Idiopathic polyneuritis (IP) pathogenesis is not fully understood.
    • Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) and humoral immunity roles are debated.
    • Decreased suppressor T cell response observed in IP.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the role of CMI in IP pathogenesis.
    • To investigate humoral immunity and P2 protein antibody presence in IP and chronic relapsing inflammatory polyneuritis (CRIP).

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of suppressor T cell response in IP.
    • Detection of antibodies against P2 protein in IP and CRIP patients.
    • Comparison with experimental allergic neuritis (EAN) models.

    Main Results:

    • A decreased suppressor T cell response was a significant finding in IP.
    • Antibodies against P2 protein were not detected in IP or CRIP patients, unlike in EAN.
    • CMI response to P2 protein was not detected in IP or CRIP.

    Conclusions:

    • Reduced suppressor T cell function may link triggers to IP.
    • The role of humoral immunity in IP and CRIP warrants further investigation, especially with plasmapheresis responses.
    • The specific neuritogenic factor(s) in IP and CRIP remain to be identified.
