Title	Long-term suppression of neurodegeneration in chronic experimental optic neuritis: antioxidant gene therapy

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	These findings are suggestive of the long-term protective effect of antioxidant gene therapy against degeneration of the optic nerve induced by chronic EAE.Viral-mediated delivery of antioxidant genes provides long-lasting suppression against neuronal and axonal loss associated with permanent visual disability in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Mechanism/pathway	Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite are mediators of demyelination and disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in EAE.Cellular defenses against ROS include catalase.
