Antibody response to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and myelin basic protein depend on familial background and are partially associated with human leukocyte antigen alleles in multiplex families and sporadic multiple sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the association of the antibody response to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and myelin basic protein (MBP) with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles in 41 patients with sporadic multiple sclerosis (MS) and 12 multiplex MS families. We found significantly increased antibody response to MOG and MBP in MS patients without any difference to asymptomatic relatives. HLA DRB1*04 was...
