Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	19667211
Year	2009
Title	Enhancement of chemokine expression by interferon beta therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	CCL1, CCL2, CCL7, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CCR1 gene expression was strongly upregulated in interferon beta-treated
Mechanism/pathway	The peripheral upregulation of these chemokines may reduce the chemoattraction of immune cells to the central nervous system and thus add to the therapeutic effects of interferon beta
