Supplementary materials and methods

Antigens and generation of bead-based antigen arrays

A total of 367 protein fragments were used in this study, which were produced within

the Human Protein Atlas routine workflow as previously described (1). In brief, using a

whole-genome bioinformatics approach, antigens of 80-150 amino acid residues were

designed in silico based on the principle of lowest sequence similarity to other human

proteins, avoiding transmembrane and signal peptide regions. The antigens were then

produced in E. coli Rosetta DE3 strain as fusion protein fragments with an N-terminal dual

affinity tag (His6-ABP) consisting of a hexahistidyl (His6) tag and an albumin binding protein

(ABP).

Besides the protein fragments generated within the Human Protein Atlas, the antigen

set included full-length proteins for the viral protein EBNA-1 (Tebu-Bio) and tissue

transglutaminase (tTG) (Tebu-Bio). In addition, the extracellular [region 87-117] of the

KIR4.1 protein was produced as a shorter version of the peptide comprising [region 83-120],

which was identified as the main target region by Srivastava et al. (2). For this, the KIR4.1

[region 87-117] was designed to be in the active site of thioredoxin (TrxA) of Mycoplasma

mycoides to give a constrained loop mimicking the KIR4.1 loop in the cytoplasmic membrane.

The TrxA was also designed to include a strech of residues for in vivo biotinylation and a His-

tag. The whole region was cloned into a pBAD vector for controlled expression using

arabinose as an inducer. This plasmid was used together with a plasmid for expression of

BirA for obtaining efficient in vivo biotinylation. The recombinant protein produced in E. coli

BL21-AI strain was purified using IMAC under denaturing conditions (2-6 M urea) and

analyzed for biotinylation using streptavidin magnetic beads (GE-Healthcare).

Protein fragments were diluted to 80 µg/ml and coupled to 1x106 carboxylated

magnetic beads per ID (MagPlex-C, Luminex Corp.) as recently described (3). Besides the

antigens, a four-point dilution series of human IgG (Sigma) and Fc fragment of human IgG

(Jackson ImmunoResearch) was included in the array for optimizing the dilution rate for the

secondary anti-human IgG antibody and a four-point dilution series of goat anti-human IgG

(Jackson ImmunoResearch) was included to provide a positive control for incubation with

plasma samples, all three antibodies within a concentration range of 5-80 µg/ml. His6-ABP

tag and a protein-free buffer were included as negative assay controls.

Immobilization of the protein fragments was confirmed by incubation of the bead-

based array with a chicken anti-His6-ABP IgY (Agrisera) at 1 µg/ml, followed by detection

with an R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) conjugated anti-chicken IgY antibody at 1 µg/ml.

5

Immobilization of the biotinylated KIR4.1 peptide on neutravidin-coated beads and the

dilution series of assay control antibodies including human IgG, human IgG-Fc fragment and

goat anti-human IgG were confirmed by detection with R-PE conjugated streptavidin (Life

Technologies), R-PE conjugated Fcγ-specific goat anti-human IgG F(ab')2 fragment (Jackson

ImmunoResearch) and Alexa Fluor 555 conjugated rabbit anti-goat IgG, respectively, all at

0.01 µg/ml.

Assays on bead-based antigen arrays

Assay conditions were applied as recently described(3), with minor changes including

an assay format based on 384-well plates (Greiner Bio-One), sample dilution rate for the

plasma samples and the type and dilution rate for the secondary anti-human IgG detection

antibody. For this, plasma sample dilution rates of 1:50, 100, 1:250 and 1:500 were first co-

evaluated with three different secondary anti human-IgG detection antibodies including two

R-PE conjugated Fcγ-specific goat anti-human IgG F(ab')2 fragments (Jackson

ImmunoResearch and Life Technologies) and an R-PE conjugated goat anti-human IgG

(H+L) F(ab')2 fragment (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at dilution rates of 1:500, 1:750 and

1:1000.

Based on the optimized conditions, a plasma sample dilution rate of 1:150 in an assay

buffer consisting of 3% (w/v) BSA (Sigma) - 5% (w/v) blotting-grade nonfat dry milk

(BioRad) in 0.1% PBS-Tween supplemented with 160 µg/ml His6-ABP was applied and R-

PE conjugated Fcγ-specific goat anti-human IgG F(ab')2 fragment (Jackson

ImmunoResearch) at a dilution rate of 1:750 (1.3 µg/ml) was used for detection of bound

human IgG to the final bead array of 384 analytes. All measurements were done on the same

FlexMap3D instrument (Luminex Corp.). At least 100 events per bead identity were counted

and binding events were displayed as median fluorescence intensity (MFI) values.

Generation of and assays on planar antigen arrays for confirmatory analysis

Using previously described procedures (3, 4), planar antigen arrays with 21,120

human protein fragments, encompassing 16,728 unique antigens and representing 12,412

unique Ensembl Gene IDs were generated. The slides, each containing 21,120 features, were

utilized for profiling of plasma samples from two individuals, which revealed the highest

reactivity for ANO2 fragment-A [region 79-167] in the bead-based autoantibody profiling

assays. For this, the plasma sample dilution rate and assay buffer compositions were applied

as described for bead-based arrays. Bound human IgG on the planar array antigens was

6

detected by DyLight 649 conjugated conjugated Fcγ-specific goat anti-human IgG F(ab')2

fragment (Jackson ImmunoResearch).

Independent replication assays for detection of ANO2 autoantibodies

Serum samples were shipped on dry ice to the German Cancer Research Center

(DKFZ, Heidelberg, Germany) and stored at −20°C until analysis. Testing was performed by

laboratory staff, who was blinded to the case–control status of the subjects as previously

described (5). Briefly, recombinant ANO2 proteins were constructed by gene synthesis

(Eurofins Genomics, Ebersberg, Germany) in a modified pGEX-4T-3 vector (GE Healthcare,

Freiburg, Germany), expressed in E. coli BL21 or BL21 Rosetta (Novagen-Merck, Darmstadt,

Germany) as double fusion proteins containing an N-terminal Glutathione-S-Transferase

(GST) domain and a C-terminal tag peptide derived from the large T antigen of simian virus

40. Recombinant GST-ANO2-tag fusion proteins from cleared bacterial lysates were loaded

on spectrally distinct glutathione-casein-coupled fluorescence-labelled polystyrene beads

(SeroMap, Luminex, Austin, Texas) and affinity-purified in a one-step procedure. Sera were

diluted 1:50 in a serum pre-incubation buffer containing 1 mg/ml casein and 2 mg/ml total

lysate protein from bacteria overexpressing GST-tag without intervening sequences to block

binding of antibodies directed against residual bacterial proteins, GST and the tag peptide. To

suppress unspecific binding of antibodies to the beads themselves, the serum pre-incubation

buffer was supplemented with 0.5% w/v polyvinylalcohol, 0.8% w/v polyvinylpyrrolidone

and 2.5% v/v Superchemiblock (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA)(6). A monoclonal antibody

directed against the C-terminal tag peptide verified the binding of the GST-ANO2-tag fusion

proteins to the beads sets(7). The color-coded beads sets loaded with different antigens were

mixed and incubated in 96 well plates with an equal volume of the serum dilutions.

Antibodies bound to the beads via the GST-ANO2-tag fusion proteins were stained with

biotinylated goat anti-human IgA, IgM, IgG (Dianova, Hamburg, Germany) and the reporter

conjugate R-phycoerythrin-labelled streptavidin. Measurements were done on an LX200

instrument (Luminex Corp.). At least 100 events per bead identity were counted and binding

events were displayed as median fluorescence intensity (MFI) values.

Western blot validation of ANO2 antibody

Cell and tissue extracts were homogenized in lysis buffer (5mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4,

0.5mM EDTA, 0.1M NaCl, 1% beta-octyl-glucoside, 0.5% Triton X-100) containing protease

inhibitors. Samples were incubated for 30 min at 4oC and centrifuged at 14,000xg for 30min

7

at 4oC. Equal amounts of cell homogenates were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide

electrophoresis on a 4-15% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Gel (Bio-Rad) for 1h at 180V.

After transferring onto PVDF membranes using a Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System (Bio-

Rad), proteins were blocked in 5% nonfat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline solution pH 7.4

containing 1% Tween-20 (TBST) overnight at 4°C. Membranes were then incubated with the

primary antibody (polyclonal antibody raised against a 19 amino acid long peptide from near

the N-terminal region of human ANO2, Origene, Catalog Nr. TA316534, diluted 1:400) in the

same blocking solution as above for 2h at room temperature. After several washes in TBST,

membranes were probed with swine anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated

secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, diluted 1:5,000) for 1h at RT. Following

several more washes, immunoreactivity was visualized using the Clarity Western ECL

Substrate Kit (Bio-Rad). Image acquisition and analysis were performed on a ChemiDoc MP

imaging system (Bio-Rad).

Immunofluorescence histochemistry on brain sections

Immunofluorescence

Multiple fluorescence immunohistochemistry was performed on 7 µm-thick human

cortical sections from MS cases, which were cut from paraffin-embedded blocks on a sliding

microtome and mounted onto glass slides coated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (Sigma).

Sections containing human cortical and hippocampal cores (Æ 2mm) from individuals

without clinical signs of neuropsychiatric disease served as controls. All sections were stained

on an automated Leica Bond RX system. Briefly, sections were deparaffinized (Bond Dewax

solution AR9222), rehydrated and treated for 40 min in an EDTA based pH 9.0 solution

(Bond Epitope Retrieval solution 2 AR9640) to unmask the antigens. Slides were

subsequently incubated in normal donkey serum for 30 min, followed by addition of the

primary antibody cocktail mix containing the macrophage marker CD68 (AB955, ABCAM),

astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein GFAP (MAB3402X, Millipore) and

ANO2 (TA316534, Origene) diluted (1:400, 1:2000 and 1:400, respectively) in Bond Primary

antibody diluent (AR9352) for 8 h at room temperature. Sections were washed 3 x 15 min in

PBS and incubated for 90 min at room temperature with secondary antibody cocktail mix

(FITC-anti-mouse, Cy3.5-anti-rabbit and Cy5-anti-goat) diluted 1:200 in 0.2M PB. Slides

were washed 3 x 15 min in PBS and upon incubation for 20 min in 1% Sudan Black solution

in 70% ethanol to quench autofluorescence, slides were mounted in DAPI-containing

mounting medium (P-36931, Life Technologies).

Slide scanning microscopy

Fluorescence microscope images were acquired on a Vslide slide scanning microscope

(MetaSystems, Alltlussheim, Germany) equipped with a CoolCube 2 camera, 2.5x, 5x, 10x

and 20x objectives and filter sets for DAPI (EX350/50 - EM470/40), FITC (EX493/16 –

EM527/30), Cy3 (EX546/10 – EM580/30), Cy3.5 (EX581/10 – EM617/40) and Cy5

(EX630/20 – 647/long pass). Whole microscope slides were scanned at 2.5x and tissue was

detected based on the DAPI signal. After generating a position map all tissue covered areas

where scanned using 20x primary objective. Individual field of view images were stitched to

generate a large 4-channel fluorescence image of the entire specimen with microscopic

resolution.

Bioinformatics tools and databases

Sequence similarity searches were performed using NCBI BLASTP algorithm and

scored with BLOSUM-80 matrix for protein fragments of ANO2 fragment-A, GPR62,

PGAM5 and with PAM-30 matrix for the short region of ANO2 identified on peptide arrays.

Protein visualizations, including predicted transmembrane topology annotated from

UniProtKB database and custom regions of interest represented by the utilized protein

fragments were made using the online tool Protter(8). The functional annotation tool of

DAVID database (9) was used to identify enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms for the content

of the antigen array, where Benjamini-Hochberg FDR-adjusted p-values<0.01 were

considered statistically significant. BepiPred tool available in the Immune Epitope Database

(10) was used for predicting the position of a continuous B-cell epitope in ANO2 fragment-A,

which uses a combination of hidden Markov model and a propensity scale method(11). The

residues with scores above a threshold of 0.75 were predicted to be part of an epitope.

Supplementary results

Study and experimental design

Previously, we discovered and technically verified autoantibody reactivity profiles

associated with MS by screening plasma on a very large panel of human antigens(3) and

described 51 targets that were differential in their reactivity frequency among different MS

subtypes and controls with OND. These targets were now evaluated for verification in an

independent and larger cohort, which consisted of 1,063 MS cases and 1,106 population-

based, non-MS controls. In addition to these 51 antigens, which were now represented by 115

9

protein fragments to cover additional parts of these target proteins, we included 57 other

internally identified targets which were represented by 121 protein fragments. We also

assembled a set of 96 protein fragments representing 66 proteins, which have been previously

identified as autoimmune targets in the context of MS (e.g. MOG) in addition to other targets,

which have been more recently proposed using various untargeted proteomics approaches,

such as KIR4.1(2). Besides this, protein fragments with sequence similarity to KIR4.1 and

other KCNJ family proteins were also included in the target set, which were represented by 35

protein fragments (Figure S1A). A global GO annotation enrichment analysis of this selection

was performed and revealed statistically significant enrichment for terms related to molecular

function, biological process and cellular compartment, e.g. “potassium channel activity” and

“potassium transport. Other enriched GO terms were “nucleotide binding” and “neuron

projection” (Figure S1B).

Overview of reactivity profiles of MS cases vs. controls

We performed analysis using the bead-based arrays on 1,063 MS cases and 1,106

controls to determine IgG reactivity against 384 antigens, representing 196 unique proteins.

Out of this, five antigens revealed an FDR-adjusted Wilcoxon rank-sum test p-value < 0.01.

These antigens included anoctamin 2 (ANO2), Epstein–Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-

1), phosphoglycerate mutase family member 5 (PGAM5), G protein-coupled receptor 62

(GPR62), serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7). Among these ANO2, GPR62 and

PGAM5 had been included as follow-up to our previous discovery study. Differences

revealed for interferon beta 1 (IFNB1), G elongation factor, mitochondrial 2 (GFM2), large

tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2) were yet statistically less significant with p-values < 0.05

(Table S1 and Figure S2).

Identification of additional potential autoimmune targets in MS

In addition to ANO2, the group of antigens for which the most significant differences

were revealed between MS cases and controls included PGAM5 [region 165-246]

representing an intracellular region of the protein (Figure S15A) and GPR62 [region 296-

367] representing the intracellular C-terminus of the protein (Figure S16A). As for ANO2,

these antigens were proposed by our previous discovery study.

Compared to ANO2, the fold changes between MS cases and controls were relatively

lower for these two antigens, yet the differences in MFI values were statistically significant

both for GPR62 (Wilcoxon rank-sum test p-value=1.4x10-4) (Figure S16C) and PGAM5

10

(Wilcoxon rank-sum test p-value=2.1x10-5) fragments (Figure S15C). The reactivity profiles

for these antigens over all samples are shown in Figure S15B and Figure S16B.

Interaction between MS-related HLA risk alleles and plasma reactivity against GPR62

and PGAM5

GPR62 IgG positivity (above median + 3xSD among controls) was associated with

MS (OR 2.14, 95% CI of 1.40-3.29, p-value <0.003). We also identified interaction both with

carriage of HLA-DRB1*15, AP 0.56 (95% CI of 0.17-0.98) and HLA-A*02, AP 0.51 (95%

CI of 0.12-0.90) (Figure S18). We did not observe any interaction between GRP62 positivity

and increased EBNA1 IgG levels. We have previously seen interaction between HLA-

DRB1*15 and HLA-A*02 with regard to risk of MS(12) and therefore investigated

interaction between GRP62 positivity when stratifying for these HLA exposures. There was a

significant interaction between GRP62 positivity and HLA-DRB1*15 among A*02 negative

but not positive individuals (Table S2A). No interaction between HLA-A*02 and GRP62 was

observed when stratifying for HLA-DRB1*15, this is likely due to lack of power (Table S2B).

The interaction between GRP62 IgG positivity, carriage of the risk factor HLA-DRB1*15,

and A*02 is illustrated in Figure S14B.

No significant interactions were observed between PGAM5 positivity and HLA-

DRB1*15, A*02 or increased levels of EBNA1 IgG.

Overview of publicly available transcriptome data for ANO2, GPR62 and PGAM5

Tissue-specific transcriptome data available for ANO2 in two different publicly

available data portals, the Human Protein Atlas and the GTEx portal, revealed increased

expression of ANO2 in testis tissue (Figure S19A-D), whereas the BioGPS portal provided

data for increased expression of ANO2 in the pineal gland (epiphysis) in the brain (Figure

S19B). A data portal dedicated for transcriptome of the purified cell classes of the brain

revealed relatively increased expression of ANO2 in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (Figure

S19C). For PGAM5, this portal reported mixed expression in all cell classes of the brain

(Figure S20A), whereas the data for GPR62 revealed a remarkably enriched expression in

myelinating oligodendrocytes, followed by newly formed oligodendrocytes (Figure S20B).

Reactivity against literature-based targets

Reactivity profiles for viral EBNA-1 antigen

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human virus known to infect more than 90% of the

adult population worldwide, and it has been implicated as a potential contributor to the

pathogenesis of MS(13). The antigen array utilized in this study included the protein EBNA-1,

which is a protein expressed in all latency types of EBV infection. Comparison of distribution

of MFI values in MS cases and controls revealed a statistically significant difference

(Wilcoxon rank-sum test p-value=2.7x10-16) (Figure S21A). There were no statistically

significant differences within male and female MS cases and controls (Figure S21B) and no

correlation was revealed between age and MFI values for EBNA-1 within control or MS case

groups (Figure S21C-D).

Reactivity profiles for KIR4.1

The glial inwardly rectifying ion channel protein KIR4.1, in particular the

extracellular loop consisting of [region 83-120], was recently identified by Srivastava et al. as

a potential serum target of autoantibodies in the context of MS(2). The antigen array utilized

in our assay included two protein fragments representing this extracellular loop region of

KIR4.1: fragment-A [region 87-117] and fragment-B [region 89-117]. In addition to these,

fragment-C represented the intracellular C-terminal [region 310-379] of KIR4.1 (Figure

S22A). Our analysis revealed no difference between the MS cases and controls for any of the

three protein fragments representing KIR4.1 (Figure S22B-D).

Reactivity profiles for other literature-based targets

Our antigen set included various other targets identified previously by other studies

using both unbiased proteomic approaches or investigating pre-selected collections of

potentially MS-related proteins. Among these literature-based additions, differences in

reactivity were found for a protein fragment representing [region 75-111] of SRSF7, the

serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (Figure S2, Table S1). This protein was previously

described by Beyer et al. as a potential autoimmune target, where autoantibody reactivity in

CSF samples from 15 RRMS patients were compared to 15 controls using a commercially

available protein microarray technology (14). Our analysis in plasma samples revealed a

moderate reactivity against SRSF7 in cases and controls.

Besides, we also investigated reactivity against interferon beta 1 (IFNB-1), an

immunomodulatory protein and drug used for treatment of MS patients with a relapsing

course. It is known that a subset of IFNB-1 treated MS patients might develop antibodies

against IFNB-1 and thereby receive a reduced therapeutic efficacy(15). In our assay we

12

included a protein fragment representing [region 24-101] of IFNB-1 to investigate the

presence of antibodies against IFNB-1 in plasma. Significantly more MS cases showed

IFNB1 reactivity compared to controls (Figure S23A). Dissecting the case groups into IFNB-

1 treated and untreated cases showed distinct antibody reactivity against the protein fragment

only in IFNB-1 treated MS cases (Figure S23B). Further drug-related classification of the

MS case group revealed an IFNB-1 reactivity in particular in Betaseron (IFNB-1b type drug;

also known as Betaferon) treated patients, while reactivity among patients treated with

Avonex and Rebif (both IFNB-1a type drugs), was lower (Figure S23C).

Supplementary discussion points

About the structure of ANO2 protein

The very recently reported experimental structure of ANO1 (PDB ID: 4WIS) is the

only known 3-D structure within the anoctamin protein family(16). In this structure, ten trans-

membrane helices are observed, as opposed to only eight predicted. Since the membrane

bound portions share ~70% sequence homology across the anoctamin family members, and

since the confidence of the predicted intracellular N-terminal portion, i.e. [region 1-365], is

~50%, the autoantibody-binding site may also be on the extracellular domain. Despite the

dissimilarities in the sequence, [region 136-147] of ANO2, which is the region where we

mapped plasma reactivity on a peptide level, highly resembles [region 322-329] in the crystal

structure of ANO1, which is located on the extracellular side of ANO1. It is also possible that

the site is facing the channel cleft allowing the antibody to protrude down the channel cleft

and bind to the predicted epitope. Indeed, the channel entrance is ~15 Å while the vestibule is

widened to ~30 Å. Alignment of the fragment-A [region 79-167] on the experimental

structure shows that both the channel facing (Figure S17B-C) and extracellular surface

exposed autoantibody binding (Figure S17D-E) are plausible, even if the overall non-

membrane architecture may differ since the modeled fragment shows low sequence homology

to any known 3-D structures. However, the staged modeling protocol does not heavily rely on

existing templates but rather accounts for physical interactions, meaning that one can expect

some structural changes when including solvent and membrane-bilayers or a larger portion of

the protein.

About plasma autoantibody reactivity against KIR4.1

The antigen set utilized in this study included three recombinant protein fragments

representing the inward rectifying potassium channel KIR4.1, which was recently suggested

13

as a potential autoimmune target within MS(2). Here, we demonstrated a low presence of

KIR4.1 fragment-specific antibodies in plasma with no discrimination between cases and

controls (Figure S22), with a similar outcome in two other recent studies which investigated

KIR4.1 reactivity (17, 18). The discrepancies between studies on this protein might be due to

different methodologies, different antigen preparations and expression system and thus

differential status of posttranslational modifications such as glycosylation, which highlight the

importance of the potential role of posttranslational modifications in autoantibody binding

(19).

About plasma autoantibody reactivity against IFNB-1

In this study, we also investigated the reactivity towards IFNB-1 in plasma, which is

used as a drug for treatment of MS patients. It is known that a subset of IFNB-1 treated MS

patients, varying between 2-45% depending on the specific drug and dose regimen, develop

antibodies against IFNB-1 and therefore experience a reduced therapeutic benefit(20, 21).

Using a protein fragment representing IFNB-1, we could identify reactivity exclusively in

plasma of MS patients treated with an IFNB-1b type drug (Figure S23), which is known to be

more immunogenic than the IFNB-1a type drug(15). This demonstrated not only the utility of

our assay setup for an efficient detection of treatment-related neutralizing antibodies to IFNB-

1, but also the utility of protein fragments for autoantibody profiling, which are generated

within the Human Protein Atlas as most unique representations of their full-length versions.

fragments with sequence similarity to KIR4.1 and other KCNJ family proteins were also included, which were represented by 35 protein fragments. (B) GO annotation enrichment analysis was performed for both the entire set of targets and for the subset of targets consisting of only literature-based targets or only follow-up targets. Significantly over-represented GO terms for molecular function, biological process and cellular compartment and the number of targets annotated to these over-represented GO terms are shown in the barplot. The reported FDR-adjusted p-values are shown only for the significant enrichment of the respective terms within the entire set of targets. There were no significantly enriched GO terms within the subset of only follow-up targets, whereas the subset of literature-based targets contributed to the enrichment of various terms related to “ion channel activity” in the entire target set.

(B) The barplot represents the positive reactivity percentages for ANO2 fragment-A within the different MS subtypes and controls with ONDs, where in particular the difference in positive reactivity percentages between the RRrem cases and controls with ONDs revealed a statistically significant Fisher’s exact test p-value. (C) The barplot represents the positive reactivity percentages for ANO2 fragment-A within all the MS cases and controls with ONDs with the respective Fisher’s exact test p-value. The plasma samples utilized in this previous discovery study(3) were collected during routine neurological diagnostic work-up as part of an in-house biobank at Karolinska University Hospital, Neurology Clinic, Stockholm, Sweden and all enrolled participants in that cohort were different from those enrolled in the EIMS cohort utilized in the presented study.

Figure S11. Sequence similarity search results for the protein fragments representing ANO2 fragment-A, GPR62 and PGAM5. Sequence similarity searches performed using NCBI BLASTP tool revealed that the sequences of protein fragments representing ANO2 fragment-A [region 79-167] or [region 136-147], GPR62, and PGAM5 have no significant similarity to other viral or bacterial proteins. GPR62 and PGAM5 have no significant similarity to other human proteins and ANO2 fragment-A [region 79-167] shows a low degree of similarity to the human protein ANO1.

Figure S12. The predicted B-cell epitope within ANO2 fragment-A. The plot represents the scores calculated by the BepiPred tool in the Immune Epitope Database for each residue position in ANO2 fragment-A [region 79-167]. The residues with scores above the threshold 0.75 are predicted to be part of a continuous B-cell epitope and colored in yellow. The peptide stretch HAGGPGDIELGP representing ANO2 fragment-A [region 136-147] and which was identified on peptide arrays overlaps with the peptide representing ANO2 fragment-A [region 129-145] predicted by the BepiPred tool.

Figure S13. Western blot validation of ANO2 antibody used for immunostaining studies on brain tissue. Antibody validation using positive and negative control cell lysates, together with those from a range of various cell lines (U2OS, HACAT, MCF7, SCLC214) (A) and tissue lysate from rat brain (B), confirmed detection of ANO2 protein only in the over-expressing cell lysate (indicated as “+ve”) and tissue lysates from cortex and septum (indicated as "CTX" and “SEP”, respectively), revealing a band close to 114 kDa, the predicted MW of ANO2 protein.

Figure S14. Interaction between different combinations of ANO2 or GPR62 autoantibody reactivity, HLA-DRB1*15 positivity and increased levels of EBNA-1 antibody reactivity or absence of HLA-A*02. (A) ORs with 95% confidence intervals for different combinations of ANO2 IgG positivity, HLA-DRB1*15 positivity and increased levels of EBNA-1 IgG. Increased EBNA-1 IgG was defined as levels above the median among controls. ORs were calculated relative to the group without risk factors for all three exposures. The analysis is crude without correction for any factors. (B) ORs with 95% confidence intervals for different combinations of GRP62 IgG positivity, HLA-DRB1*15 positivity and absence of HLA-A*02. ORs are calculated relative to the group without risk factors for all three exposures. The analysis is crude without correction for any factors.

Figure S18. Adjusted ORs with 95% confidence intervals for the risk of developing MS for GPR62 autoantibody positivity and different combinations of HLA-DRB*15 and HLA-A*02 status. Departure from additivity for pairs of risk factors were tested by calculating attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) using logistic regression analysis. The analysis was adjusted for age (groups consisted of 12-24, 25-34, 35-44 and above 45 years of age, 25-34 year olds were used as reference), gender and ancestry (from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland or not). In this cohort DRB1*15 was positively associated with MS (OR 2.90, 95%CI 2.41-3.49) while A*02 was negatively associated with MS (OR 0.53 95%CI 0.39-0.63).

Figure S23. Autoantibody reactivity against the protein fragment of IFNB1. (A) The dotplot represent the MFI values and their spread for plasma reactivity against IFNB1 [region 24-191] within 1,106 controls and 1,063 MS cases. (B) The dotplot represents the MFI values and their spread for plasma reactivity against IFNB1 [region 24-101] within MS cases treated with IFNB1-type drugs (including Betaseron, Avonex and Rebif) and within MS cases which were either untreated or treated with other type of drugs. (C) The dotplot represents the MFI values and their spread for plasma reactivity against IFNB1 [region 24-101] within MS cases dissected further into various treatment categories and drugs. In particular those MS cases treated with Betaseron (also known as Betaferon), which is an interferon beta-1b type drug revealed presence of binding antibodies against IFNB-1 whereas MS cases with binding antibodies against IFNB-1 were rare among those treated with Avonex and Rebif, which are both interferon beta-1a type drugs.
