    Notes: From the cerebrospinal fluid of 32 patients with different neurological diseases immune complexes were isolated using protein A-Sepharose. The isolated heavy and light chains and their constituents were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. In addition to immunoglobulins, some proteins such as albumin, apolipo-protein A-I and a number of unknown proteins were detected in all preparations. A complex consisting of three proteins with molecular masses between 52-55 kDa reacted slightly with polyclonal antibodies to glial fibrillary acidic protein, Whether the linkage between these antigens and the Ig is due to the Fab region or the Fc region remains unknown in our study. In some immune complexes of neurological diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, astrocytoma and multiple sclerosis, differences are easily recognizable in the gel pattern.

    Notes: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins were separated into three main fractions by size exclusion-high performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC). Subsequent analysis of each fraction by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) facilitated the detection of trace components in CSF and additionally provided more information about the native properties of various proteins. Certain proteins are present in a polymeric form and appear in the high molecular weight SE-HPLC fraction. In the middle molecular weight SE-HPLC fraction we found a CSF-specific transthyretinrelated protein by immunoblotting with polyclonal antibodies to transthyretin. Possible interpolypeptide disulfide bonds of such polymeric proteins were studied using a nonreducing 2-DE system. This procedure revealed that all apolipoprotein E monomers in CSF, which are synthesized in astrocytes, are linked by disulfide bonds. In the CSF from a patient with clinically definite multiple sclerosis (MS), novel proteins appeared in the high molecular weight SE-HPLC fraction, which are obscured by other proteins if total CSF is analyzed.

    Notes: To analyze the transition of an autoimmune disease into a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (MALT-NHL), we investigated a total of 27 cases of clinically diagnosed autoimmune thyroiditis with lymphoid hyperplasia. Three cases of thyroid hyperplasia served as controls. Monoclonal B cells were detected by studying rearrangement patterns of the hypervariable CDR III regions within the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene locus and the T-cell receptor γ chain gene (TCRG). We used a seminested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to demonstrate immunoglobulin rearrangements and a multiplex PCR for TCRG rearrangements. The PCR products were analyzed by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis to expand mixtures of homo- and hetero-duplices within heterogeneous populations of B cells. With this approach we found monoclonality in 14 of the 27 cases of Hashimoto's disease. In a reinvestigation we discovered additional histological and immunohistochemical features of MALT-NHL in 17 cases. The 14 cases of thyroiditis with clonally expanded B cells clearly demonstrate the transition from autoimmune disease to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
