title: [Clinical and immunochemical characteristics of remittent multiple sclerosis].
abstract: Immunochemical monitoring was used to examine 37 patients with remittent multiple sclerosis (MS) for 3 years. There were changes in the blood concentrations of the supernatants IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-6, alpha-TNF, in the serum levels of the adhesion molecule sVCAM, the neurospecific proteins GFAP and alpha 2GP. Only does active MS show a simultaneous increase in the serum concentrations of SVCAM and GFAP and alpha 2GP, which may be used as a test for the objectification of MS aggravation, the efficiency of therapy. The revealed higher secretion of antiinflammatory of cytokines at all disease stages, no recovery of blood-brain barrier responsiveness and at remission provide evidence for the likelihood of a permanent immunopathological process in MS with prevailing inflammatory and destructive changes during a clinical exacerbation and of the induction of active astrogliosis at its remission.
