Seeking balance: Potentiation and inhibition of multiple sclerosis autoimmune responses by IL-6 and IL-10

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.

Acta Neuropathologica Communications | Full text | Categorization of multiple sclerosis relapse subtypes by B cell profiling in the blood

B cells are attracting increasing attention in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). B cell-targeted therapies with monoclonal antibodies or plasmapheresis have been shown to be successful in a subset of patients.

From defining antigens to new therapies in multiple sclerosis: Honoring the contributions of Ruth Arnon and Michael Sela

From defining antigens to new therapies in multiple sclerosis: Honoring the contributions of Ruth Arnon and Michael Sela | NeuroImmunology | Scoop.it

Highlights

 

Ruth Arnon and Michael Sela profoundly influenced the development of a model system to test new therapies in multiple sclerosis.

By measuring clinical, pathologic, and immunologic outcomes, the biological implications of new drugs could be elucidated.

The pioneering research on Copaxone using the EAE model, paved the way for the discovery of other therapeutics in MS.
