PG - 398-402 AB - Increased immunoglobulin G (IgG) and intrathecally produced oligoclonal bands (OGBs) are characteristic of a limited number of inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) diseases and are often directed against the cause of disease. In subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), the cause of disease and the target of the oligoclonal response is measles virus (MV). The authors previously showed that clonally expanded populations of CD38+ plasma cells in SSPE brain, the likely source of OGBs, are directed against MV. In characterizing the breadth of the plasma cell reactivities, the authors found that a large proportion of the less abundant plasma cells are also directed against MV. The intrathecal response may be useful in determining the causes of other inflammatory CNS diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Behcet's disease, and neurosarcoidosis.
