Hümmert, Bernhard Neumann, Bernhard Neumann, Klaus Eulitz, Dirk Koczan, Uwe K. Zettl

“…A gene expression signature that is characteristic of CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD4-CTLs) was found to be elevated at baseline in non-responders to apheresis, although this could not be validated with statistical significance (n=19 MS patients).ConclusionOur data reveal that therapeutic apheresis in MS rapidly leads to a significant decrease in IgG reactivities against EBNA1 (391-410) and cross-reactive targets such as GlialCAM (370-389) and also has an impact on the gene expression of B cells and T cells. …”
