Title	Tolerance induction in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis using non-myeloablative hematopoietic gene therapy with autoantigen

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	In conclusion, this study demonstrates that a cell therapy using BMC expressing an autoAg can induce Ag-specific tolerance and ameliorate established EAE even in a nonmyeloablative setting.
Mechanism/pathway	Both IL-5 and IL-10 were reported to mediate Tr1 effects.
