Abstract
The invention concerns a polypeptide specifically reacting with the antibodies of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (SEP) and whereof the peptide sequence comprises at least one sequence selected among SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID NO: 19, and their equivalent sequences, and the use of this polypeptide in a reagent and a kit for detecting multiple sclerosis, an immunoreactive composition and in a method for fixing, in a biological sample, antibodies characteristic and/or specific of multiple sclerosis.
