Deposits of IgG and C3 in the spinal cord and motor cortex of ALS patients
Abstract
Deposits of IgG and complement were demonstrated by direct immunofluorescent techniques with sections of motor cortex and spinal cord from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. Six of 16 ALS patients showed deposits within the spinal cord while 5 of 13 showed similar deposits within the motor cortex. The specificity of this staining was shown by blocking experiments and the use of conjugated F(ab')2. Similar deposits were found in the CNS in disease states associated with possible immune or infectious etiologies and were not found in the CNS of normal controls.

“These findings support earlier observations showing that the BBB and BSCB are damaged in a subset of ALS patients as demonstrated by accumulation of plasma-derived IgG in the spinal cord and motor cortex in 40% (154) to 90% (163) of studied cases, and accumulation of peripheral blood cells in 70% (164) to 100% (599) of studied cases.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
