Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 17372022 |
| Year | 2007 |
| Title | TGF-beta1-mediated control of central nervous system inflammation and autoimmunity through the inhibitory receptor CD26 |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulated |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | Levels of IFN-g, IL-2, and TNF-a in these cultures were measured by specific ELISA. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | As these cytokines are associated with the encephalitogenic potency of myelin Ag-specific T cells, we conclude that enhanced Th1 cell reactivity in response to MOG is part of the underlying mechanism causing enhanced disease scores in CD26-/- mice. |
