Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID 24282306
Year 2013
Title Human autoimmunity after lymphocyte depletion is caused by homeostatic T-cell proliferation

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result CD4 expression of the inhibitory receptors [programmed death-1 (PD-1) and lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3)] was increased 6–9 mo after alemtuzumab.
Mechanism/pathway CD4 expansion may also be limited by upregulation of the inhibitory receptors PD-1 and LAG-3 and prolonged CD95 (Fas) expression.
