Quantitative analysis of monoclonal immunoglobulins in serum of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract:

:In a prospective study, we analysed the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulin (moIg) in the serum from 30 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 30 matched controls using a sensitive Western blot technique. The incidence of serum moIg was 60% in the ALS group and 13.3% in the control group. Most ALS sera contained 2 or 3 monoclonal components. They were IgG (72.7%) and IgM (27.3%). These results corroborate the concept of a probable association between ALS and serum moIg.
