abstract = {Recent studies indicate that the cytokine B-cell activating
factor (BAFF) is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic
inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is standard treatment for
CIDP and is known to rapidly modulate increased serum levels
of pro-inflammatory cytokines. We evaluated the expression
profile of BAFF and its corresponding BAFF-receptor in
samples from CIDP patients, focusing on rapid changes before
and after IVIg treatment. In CIDP patients BAFF serum
concentrations were elevated compared to controls. Treatment
with high-dose IVIg restored those elevated BAFF serum
levels. Whereas treatment with IVIg did not affect BAFF
production in monocytes, antibodies against BAFF could be
detected in IVIg preparations, which may explain the
short-term decrease of BAFF levels after IVIg treatment. Our
data suggest that BAFF plays an important role in the
pathogenesis of CIDP and may serve as marker for IVIg
treatment response.},
