Abstract:
Gliotoxic factor in the isolated or purified state, characterized in that it possesses toxic activity with respect to human or animal astrocytic cells, having the effect of a cytomorphological disorganization of their network of intermediate filaments and/or a degradation of the proteins of said intermediate filaments and/or cell death, in particular by apoptosis.

Abstract:
The inventive composition comprises at least one type of antibody selected in a group (i) of anti-Env-SU MSRV/HERV-W antibodies or in a group of anti-TLR4 antibodies specifically linkable with the soluble fraction of an Env protein of MSRV/HERV-W or to a TLR4 receptor of the soluble fraction of the Env protein of MSRV/HERV-W.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for detecting PrP in a biological human or animal sample that may contain PrP. The inventive method is characterised in that it uses a molecule containing at least one positive charge and/or at least one osidic bond and a ligand other than a proteinic ligand selected from macrocyclic ligands and glycosaminoglycanes.
Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis or a condition associated with multiple sclerosis is detected by detecting an amount of lymphocytes bearing a Vβ16, Vβ17 or Vβ7 determinant and calculating an amount of expansion or loss of these lymphocytes.
Abstract:
The invention proposes a method for detecting and/or quantifying, in a biological sample, a cytotoxic factor, in particular a gliotoxic factor, with respect to adherent target cells, in particular macroglial cells, the toxicity of which causes the death by apoptosis of said cells. The method comprises providing an initial fraction of the sample, optionally enriched with the toxic factor by previous treatment, incubating the initial toxic factor with a reference culture medium comprising adherent target cells, and detecting and/or quantifying in the adherent target cells killed by apoptosis, by flow cytometry, at least one direct or indirect characteristic associated with the apoptotic adherent cells of the whole or part of the incubated medium, which, if it is present and/or is quantified, qualifies the sample as positive, i.e. as containing said toxic factor. The initial biological sample is preferably a urine specimen.
