Distinguishing features of the range of serum antibodies to nervous tissue antigens in Parkinson's disease

The goal of this study was to perform a multivariable analysis of immunobiochemical parameters which reflect the state of nervous system microstructure in Parkinson's disease (PD). Materials and Methods. The study included 54 patients of the main group with a diagnosis of PD and 6 patients of the control group. The immunoreactivity profiles of natural regulatory auto-AB in serum were determined by ELISA using the ELI-P-Complex assay. The following parameters were assessed: ABto NF-200, GFAP, S100 proteins, MBP, beta-endorphin, voltage dependent Ca2+channel, H-cholinergic receptors, glutamate, dopamine, serotonin, opiate, GABA receptors. Results. The study revealed significant abnormalities in auto-AB profiles of the examined patients. Conclusion. The findings on the difference in range of auto- AB dependent on the duration of the disease and the revealed associations with the main characteristics of the disease can be used both for early diagnosis and for predicting the course of PD in the future.
