The aim of the study was to determine IgG subclasses of MBP antibodies in patients with multiple sclerosis. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with monoclonal antibodies against human IgG subclasses was applied. Anti-MBP antibodies were found in the CSF of 16% and in the sera of 20% patients with MS. MBP antibodies belonged to IgG1, IgG2 and IgG3 subclasses (in the CSF) and to IgG1 and IgG3 subclasses (in the sera). The role of MBP antibodies in context of their IgG subclasses distribution is discussed.
