Complex immunomodulatory effects of interferon‐β in multiple sclerosis include the upregulation of T helper 1‐associated marker genes
31 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered an autoimmune disease that is mediated by proinflammatory T helper-1 lymphocytes. The putative mechanism of interferon-beta (IFN-beta), an approved treatment for MS, includes the inhibition of T-cell proliferation, blocking of blood-brain-barrier opening and T-cell transmigration into the brain via interference with cell adhesion, and the upregulation of anti-inflammatory...
