Diversity of V delta-J delta gene rearrangement in peripheral blood lymphocytes and intrathecal IgG synthesis in multiple sclerosis.

Abstract:

:The object of the study is a comparison of intrathecal IgG synthesis and gamma/delta TCR genes rearrangement in multiple sclerosis. The subgroup of 13 cases with intrathecal IgG synthesis and positive oligoclonal bands was compared with 8 cases with IgG index below 0.75 and with undetectable oligoclonal bands. TCR gene rearrangement was studied in peripheral blood lymphocytes by PCR analysis. In majority of cases of the first group the V delta-J delta junctional repertoire was restricted as evidenced by oligoclonal rearrangement. Monoclonal pattern of rearrangement was also established in some cases concerning V delta 1-J delta 1 and V delta 5-J delta 1. In all cases with one exception, demonstrating IgG index < 0.75 and with negative oligoclonal bands in CSF the oligo- or polyclonal pattern of V delta-J delta gene rearrangement was noticed. It is therefore suggested that subset T and B lymphocytes may undergo clonal expansion in MS as evidenced by restricted pattern of V delta-J delta rearrangement and intrathecal oligoclonal IgG synthesis, respectively. Oligoclonal expansion at certain B and T cells may occur due to stimulation by an antigen related to MS pathogen.
