   The suspicion that an immune reaction is involved at some stage in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis is implicit in much of the recent literature of the disease (Miller and Schapira, 1959). If this were so, multiple sclerotic subjects might possibly manifest an enhanced capacity to produce antibodies; or alternatively, if they are actively producing auto-antibodies, then their capacity to respond to other antigens might be diminished.
