Recent reports indicated that myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease might be a rare complication after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection or vaccination. It is unclear whether this is an unspecific sequel of infection or vaccination or caused by possible immunological cross-reactivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 proteins and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein. The aim of this study was therefore to elucidate whether there is an immunological cross-reactivity between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike or nucleocapsid proteins and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and to explore the relation of antibody responses against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and other coronaviruses. We analysed serum samples from patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and neurological symptoms with (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease, = 12) or without myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-antibodies ( = 10); severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection without neurological symptoms ( = 32); vaccinated patients with no history of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and neurological symptoms with (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease, = 10) or without myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-antibodies ( = 9); and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 negative/naïve unvaccinated patients with neurological symptoms with (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease, = 47) or without myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-antibodies ( = 20). All samples were analysed for serum antibody responses to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and other common coronaviruses (CoV-229E, CoV-HKU1, CoV-NL63 and CoV-OC43). Based on sample amount and antibody titres, 21 samples were selected for analysis of antibody cross-reactivity between myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins using affinity purification and pre-absorption. Whereas we found no association of immunoglobulin G and A myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies with coronavirus antibodies, infections with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 correlated with an increased immunoglobulin M myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody response. Purified antibodies showed no cross-reactivity between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein. However, one sample of a patient with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection showed a clear immunoglobulin G antibody cross-reactivity to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleocapsid protein and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein. This patient was also seropositive for other coronaviruses and showed immunological cross-reactivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and CoV-229E nucleocapsid proteins. Overall, our results indicate that an immunoglobulin G antibody cross-reactivity between myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 proteins is rare. The presence of increased myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-immunoglobulin M antibodies after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection may either be a consequence of a previous infection with other coronaviruses or arise as an unspecific sequel after viral infection. Furthermore, our data indicate that myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-immunoglobulin A and particularly myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-immunoglobulin M antibodies are a rather unspecific sequel of viral infections. Finally, our findings do not support a causative role of coronavirus infections for the presence of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-immunoglobulin G antibodies.
