Such studies might open new avenues for the treatment of CNS autoimmune diseases. Multiple sclerosis is considered to be an autoimmune disease in which self-reactive T cells enter the central nervous system (CNS) and create an inflammatory milieu that destroys myelin and neurons. Immunomodulatory ...
The work was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the findings provide a new way of thinking about how to gain better control of our immune response and may help in the design of drugs to treat autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and diabetes. Dr ...
This talk will provide an overview of the immune system and describe autoimmune disease. In addition, how the immune response is generated, what cells participate and how these cells and/or products produced by these cells, such as antibodies, can initiate immunopathology in the CNS will be ...

A prospective case–control study showed that IVIg at a lower dosage of 0.2 or 0.3 g/kg/day had a comparable response rate and onset time to the conventional dosage of 0.4 g/kg/day [104], suggesting the possibility of treating ITP patients more cost-effectively by lowering the IVIg dos...
t overreact and attack self-antigens or other non-threatening signals. Dysfunction with these types of cells can lead to autoimmune disease. Research has indicated that modulating the function of Tregs could be very useful for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, cancer, and organ transplant ...
Repeated treatments of radioactive iodine may be required to ultimately control, or in some cases, eliminate Graves' disease in up to 70% of patients. Radioactive iodine is not sought as a therapeutic option if the patient has eye disease/symptoms as a result of their Graves' disease. ...
