Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	11086101
Year	2000
Title	Transcriptional analysis of multiple sclerosis brain lesions reveals a complex pattern of cytokine expression

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Expression	up-regulation
Risk type	Disease risk
Result	Similarly, both proinflammatory type (CCR1, CCR5) and immunomodulatory type (CCR4, CCR8) chemokine receptors were differentially expressed in the MS brain
Mechanism/Pathway	our data suggest a complex regulation of the inflammatory response in human autoimmune demyelination
