Abstract

We combined the IgG is otachophoresis (ITP) method and a formula to quantitate IgG synthesis rate inside the blood-brain barrier (intra-BBB) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. In MS, most IgG synthesized was cathodic, but synthesis occurred in both anodic and cathodic regions. In addition, ACTH and/or steroids were found to reduce cathodic IgG synthesis more than anodic.
