The aberrantly glucosylated peptide [Asn 641 (Glc)]FAN(635-655) showed similar reactivityto CSF114(Glc) and appeared to be the preferred ligand in <strong>com</strong>parison to[Asn 179 (Glc)]NogoR(173-191) and [Asn 192 (Glc)]OMgp(186-204) in the solid-phaseconditions of ELISA for MS autoantibody recognition (Figure 1a).Moreover, affinity purified anti-[Asn 641 (Glc)]FAN(635-655) IgGs showed crossreactivity with CSF114(Glc) in SP-ELISA (Figure 1b) and the <strong>com</strong>plex of affinity purifiedanti-CSF114(Glc) antibodies and CSF114(Glc) could be inhibited by[Asn 641 (Glc)]FAN(635-655) in <strong>com</strong>petitive ELISA The same result was obtained with the<strong>com</strong>plex of anti-[Asn 641 (Glc)]FAN(635-655) Abs and the corresponding glycopeptidefragment using CSF114(Glc) as inhibitor (Figure 1 c-d).(a)CSF114(Glc)Asn192(Glc)]OMgp(186-204)2.5Asn641(Glc)]FAN(635-655)IgGs(1:100) at 409nm21.510.50[Asn179]NogoR(173-191)MS1MS2MS3MS4MS5MS6MS7MS8MS9MS10MS11MS12MS13MS14MS15MS16MS17MS18MS19MS20MS21MS22MS23MS24MS25MS26MS27MS28MS29MS30MS31MS32Multiple Sclerosis patients' sera(b) (c) (d)IgGs(1:10) at 405nm10.750.50.250Affinity purified anti-Asn641(Glc)FAN(635-655) IgGsCSF114(Glc) Asn641(Glc)]FAN(635-655) Asn192(Glc)]OMgp(186-204)Ab %1007550250CSF114 (Unglycosylated)Coating CSF114(Glc)CSF114(Glc)[Asn641(Glc)]FAN(635-655)0 3.84E-11 3.84E-10 3.84E-09 3.84E-08 3.84E-07 3.84 E-06 1.92E -05Conc (mol/L)Ab %1007550250CSF114(Glc)Coating Asn641(Glc) FAN(635-655)[Asn641(Glc)]FAN(635-655)CSF114(Unglycosylated)FAN(Unglycosylated0 3.84E-11 3.84E-10 3.84E-09 3.84E-08 3.84E-07 3.84E-06 1.92E-05Conc (Mol/L)Fig. 1.
