Zusammenfassung

  1. 1.

    Lymphocyten-Zellkulturen von Multiple-Sklerose-Kranken weisen blastoide Transformation auf, wenn sie in vitro mit encephalitogenem Protein, Immunglobulin G und teilweise auch, wenn sie mit Immunglobulin A reagieren.

  2. 2.

    Eine blastoide Transformation isolierter Lymphocyten von M.S.-Kranken kann in vitro auch durch den eigenen, sowie durch heterologen Liquor von M.S.-Kranken zustande kommen. Diese Reaktion scheint vom Immunglobulin-G-Gehalt des Liquors abhängig zu sein.

  3. 3.

    Die Bedeutung der Versuche für die Pathogenese der M. S. wird diskutiert.

Summary

Lymphocyte cultures from patients with M.S. undergo blastoid cell transformation after challenge with encephalitogenic protein (e.p.), immunoglobulin G and, to some degree, with Ig M. The same transformation may be induced by autologous and heterologous cerebrospinal fluid from M.S.-patients. The reaction seems to depend on the content of Ig G in the cerebrospinal fluid. The observed immune response in the lymphocyte cultures suggests a dalayed type hypersensibility reaction in the tissue of M.S.-patients, directed against e.p., Ig G and, to some degree, against Ig M. The pathogenesis of M.S. is not sufficiently understood and still awaits elucidation. The results of further experiments will be published in detail elsewhere.
