Cytokines and Intrathecal Synthesis of Oligoclonal IgG in Viliuisk Encephalomyelitis and Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Abstract
In work results of interleukin-6,-18 and interferon - γ (INFγ) investigation in blood serum and liquor of patients with Viliuisk encephalomyelitis (VE) and multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurologic diseases are presented. Statistically significant distinctions in level of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and INFγ in liquor of VE and MS patients are revealed. It is shown that VE patients are characterized by IL-18 raised level in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and MS patients - INFγ in CSF and blood serum. The association of INFγ raised level in liquor with revealing intrathecal synthesis IgG in MS patients is ascertained.
