Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID 2452856
Year 1988
Title Predominant expression of a T cell receptor V beta gene subfamily in autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type disease risk
Main Result Positive
Result Our results demonstrate that an mAb specific for the TCR Vβ8 subfamily is effective in preventing autoimmune encephalomyelitis .
Mechanism/Pathway Our findings indicate that there is restricted TCRVβ usage in the autoimmune Tcell response to the dominant encephalitogenic NH2-terminal epitope of the MBP.
