Highlights
•
MS B cells secrete more IL-6 and less IL-10 than B cells from healthy donors.
•
B cell depletion therapy, which ameliorates disease, diminishes IL-6 levels.
•
GA therapy temporarily restores immune regulation, as detected by IL-6 levels.
•
IL-10 secreted by T regulatory cells and monocytes contribute to immune regulation.
•
Agents that enhance IL-10 and immunoregulation are of therapeutic benefit in MS.
