XY scatter graphs of reactivity of antigens A: FMC-7, B: GalCer, C: sulfatide, D: MfGL-II, and E: LPS from E. coli J5 in MS patients. RRMS in relapse (n = 5); RRMS in remission (n = 11); SPMS (n = 10); PPMS (n = 3); controls NI-OND (n = 4); I-OND (n = 5). The patients with CNS disease (I-OND) had the following diagnoses: meningitis (3), meningo-encephalitis (1), and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) (1). The group of patients with noninflammatory or NI-OND encompasses neuropathy (3) and cerebellar degeneration (1). Horizontal bars indicate median values. Abbreviations: CNS, central nervous system; FMC, fast migrating cerebroside; GalCer, galactosylceramide; LPS, lipopolisaccharide; MS, multiple sclerosis; OND, other neurological diseases; PPMS, primary progressive MS; RRMS, relapsing remitting MS; SPMS, secondary progressive MS.
