Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	In the therapeutic protocol, the protection is owing to an in situ downregulation of expression of pro-inflammatory chemokines[e.g. monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES)] and cytokines (e.g. IL-1β and TNF-α).
Mechanism/pathway	In turn, downregulation of expression of these chemokines and cytokines deactivates macrophages already recruited within the CNS, possibly through the activation of resident microglia.
