Role of IL-5 during primary and secondary immune response to acetylcholine receptor.

abstract：:A technique is described which allows the detection of virus-specific oligoclonal IgG in unconcentrated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with virus infections of the central nervous system. CSF is isoelectrically focused in agarose gels and immunoglobulins are blotted to nitrocellulose filters, passively loaded...
