Abstract

The specificity for GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) of oligoclonal IgG bands in the CSF of a patient with acute myelitis was demonstrated by isoelectric focusing and affinity blotting. Findings were confirmed by western blotting using a monoclonal antibody to GFAP as a reference. Immune reactions to this astrocyte protein are considered as arising secondary to spinal cord tissue lesion.
