title: [Anti-neurofilament antibodies in slow infections of the nervous system].
abstract: Twenty-six patients including 12 with lateral amyotrophic sclerosis, 7 with multiple sclerosis, 5 with the Creutzfeld-Jakob disease and 2 with Alzheimer's disease were examined. Antibodies to neurofilaments in the blood serum were detected in all cases of the Creutzfeld-Jakob disease and Alzheimer's disease and in 8 patients with lateral amyotrophic sclerosis with clinical evidence of supranuclear structure involvement. A conclusion is drawn about a certain similarity of pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases, as well as about heterogeneity of the cytoskeleton of neurons in the brain and the spinal cord.
