Title	Quantitative differences in the immunomodulatory effects of Rebif and Avonex in IFN-å°¾ 1a treated multiple sclerosis patients

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	the higher dosed, more frequently administered IFN-å°¾ 1a Rebif when compared to IFN-å°¾ 1a Avonex has more potent immunomodulatory effects
Mechanism/pathway	The STAT1-inducible genes IP-10 and caspase 1 were significantly increased with Rebif compared to Avonex.
