We reported previously that accumulation of myelin basic protein (MBP) in foetal brain aggregate cultures is enhanced by supplementation with peritoneal macrophages. The present study demonstrates that the rate of MBP accumulation in macrophage-enriched cultures continues to increase over time unacc

Recent evidence suggests that myelin basic protein (MBP) exon-2-containing isoforms play a significant role in the onset of myelination because they are more abundant during early development. The pattern of expression of MBP exon-2-containing isoforms was studied in rat brain aggregate cultures dur
The demyelinative potential of the cytokines interleukin-la (IL-la), interferon-y (IFN-y), and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) has been investigated in myelinating aggregate brain cell cultures. Treatment of myelinated cultures with these cytokines resulted in a reduction in myelin basic protein (MB
To link the presence of intrathecal virus-specific oligoclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG) in multiple sclerosis patients to a demyelinating activity, aggregating rat brain cell cultures were treated with antibodies directed against two viruses, namely, rubella (RV) and hepatitis B (HB). Anti-RV antibodi
