We examined the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies reactive with HTLV-I viral antigens in sera from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients using sensitive RIA assay and a Western blotting analysis assay. Our data revealed that 24% of MS patients had IgG and/or IgM antibodies reactive with antigens corresponding to group specific antigen (gag) proteins (p15, p19 and p24) by Western blotting analysis, and 45% of MS patients had significantly higher titers than those found in other neurological diseases and in healthy control sera by RIA. These immunostaining patterns of MS sera were clearly distinguishable from those of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) patients who had antibodies to the envelope (env) proteins and its precursors, in addition to the gag proteins. These findings suggest that about a half of Japanese MS patients have IgG and/or IgM antibody reactive to a hetherto undefined agent related to, but distinct from, HTLV-I.
