Open AccessSerum levels of IgM to phosphatidylcholine predict the response of multiple sclerosis patients to natalizumab or IFN-β
We developed an ELISA assay demonstrating the high prevalence of serum IgM to phosphatidylcholine (IgM-PC) in the first stages of multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to analyze the role of serum IgM-PC as a biom...

Open AccessHigh prevalence of intrathecal IgA synthesis in multiple sclerosis patients
The detection of intrathecal IgA synthesis (IAS) in multiple sclerosis (MS) could be underestimated. To assess it, we develop a highly sensitive assay based on isoelectric focusing (IEF). 151 MS patients and 5...

Open AccessGenetic variation in NDFIP1 modifies the metabolic patterns in immune cells of multiple sclerosis patients
One of the 233 polymorphisms associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility lies within the NDFIP1 gene, and it was previously identified as eQTL in healthy controls. NDFIP1 shows interesting immune funct...
