[Measles cellular immunity in patients with multiple sclerosis]

S N Atanadze, G Kh Kodkind, Smirnov YuK

    Voprosy Virusologii
    |March 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cellular immunity to measles virus is weaker in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, particularly those with early-onset disease. Reactivity to brain white matter extract was higher in MS patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimmunology
    • Cellular immunology

    Context:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system.
    • Understanding the role of cellular immunity in MS pathogenesis is crucial.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate cellular immune responses in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients against various antigens.
    • To assess cellular immunity to measles virus, vaccinia virus, tuberculin, and brain white matter extract in MS patients.

    Summary:

    • Leukocyte migration inhibition tests revealed weaker cellular immunity to measles virus antigens in MS patients compared to controls.
    • MS patients showed increased reactivity to brain white matter extract, suggesting an autoimmune component.
    • Immune responses to vaccinia virus and tuberculin did not significantly differ between MS patients and controls.
    • Measles cellular immunity (MCI) intensity varied within the MS population, being lowest in early-onset, rapidly progressing cases.
    • MCI also showed an age-related decline in both MS patients and healthy individuals.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest a potential link between measles virus infection and altered immune responses in MS.
    • Highlights the heterogeneity of cellular immunity in MS and its correlation with disease progression and onset.
    • Provides insights into potential diagnostic or therapeutic targets for multiple sclerosis.
