摘要: We employed 19 recombinant antibodies (rAbs) generated from clonally expanded plasma cells, and native IgG cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of three multiple sclerosis (MS) patients for panning with phage displayed random peptide libraries. Specific epitopes/mimotopes were identified characterized. Importantly, peptide-antibody interactions shared by rAbs the same patient. Three peptides strongly interacted at least one other MS CSF, but not to inflammatory CNS controls. Database searches revealed several protein candidates including stress proteins, cell surface neuronal proteins. Peptides derived candidate proteins recognized rAbs. Identification in may provide clues regarding disease-relevant antigens.
