Abrogation of T cell quiescence characterizes patients at high risk for multiple sclerosis after the initial neurological event

Abstract excerpt

Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) refers to the earliest clinical manifestation of multiple sclerosis (MS). Currently there are no prognostic biological markers that accurately predict conversion of CIS to clinically definite MS (CDMS). Furthermore, the earliest molecular events in MS are still unknown. We used microarrays to study gene expression in naïve CD4(+) T cells from 37 CIS patients at time of diagnosis...
