Abstract excerpt
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, and myelin proteins are the most likely candidate autoantigens. Based on experiments performed in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), innovative immunotherapies have been developed that target either the specif...
