ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods and kits useful in the differential diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. The method involves the use of an immunochemical reagent containing one or more prosomal antigens. Such a method typically involves: obtaining serum from a patient suspected of suffering from multiple sclerosis; contacting the immunochemical agent with the serum; and detecting the presence of immune complexes formed between the prosomal antigen and any antibodies reactive therewith present in the serum.
