Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 12663683 |
| Year | 2003 |
| Title | HLA class II transgenic mice authenticate restriction of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-specific immune response implicated in multiple sclerosis pathogenesis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulated |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | Cytokine analysis revealed an increase in pro-inˉammatory (IFN g, IL-12 and IL-6) and antiinˉammatory (IL-10) cytokines. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | In most forms of EAE, the Th1 cells or Th1 cytokines promote disease, while Th2 cells or cytokines down-regulate disease. |
