PG - 177-80 AB - The aim of this study is to examine the association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and anti-human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) antibody. Serum samples from 16 Hungarian caucasians with MS, 2 gipsy patients with MS, 13 Hungarian caucasians with other neurological diseases (OND) and 2 gipsy patients with OND were tested by Western blot combined with autoradiography using disrupted virus from MT-2 cell line and recombinant p24 as antigens. Negative results were obtained in all samples except for 3 Hungarian OND which were reactive to disrupted virus, but not to recombinant p24.
