Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the sera of 51 patients with various phenotypes of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), 20 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and 22 healthy volunteers for the presence of autoantibodies specific for the recombinant extracellular immunoglobulin-like domain of human myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (rhMOG(Igd)) and myelin basic protein (MBP). Anti-rhMOG(Igd) autoantibodies were significantly...
