Polyspecific Response Associated with CNS Autoimmune Diseases. The oligoclonal, intrathecally synthesized IgG contains numerous specific antibodies and autoantibodies. Antibodies are frequently found with specificities against measles, the rubella virus and the varicella-zoster virus, but seldom against the herpes simplex virus. The occurrence of one, two, or three of these antibodies is referred to as the MRZ reaction. The corresponding antigens are not present in these cases. The MRZ reaction is typical of multiple sclerosis as well as cerebral lupus erythematosus and is a chronically evolving immune process (F5, KIO, S16).

Currently, vaccine combinations can prevent against between three to six different diseases, such as the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine or the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis combination, which may be administered together with Haemophilus influenzae, hepatitis B, or poliovirus vac-...
