The patients with MOG antibody positive associated demyelination showed predominant elevation of B cell related cytokine/chemokines (CXCL13, APRIL, BAFF and CCL19) compared to MOG antibody negative demyelination group [15] as well as other encephalitis groups (CXCL13 and CCL19) (S1 Fig). This evidence concerns the gene CCL19 and encephalitis.
