Initial Immunopathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis: Innate Immune Response
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating, and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. The hallmark to MS is the demyelinated plaque, which consists of a well-demarcated hypocellular area characterized by the loss of myelin, the formation of astrocytic scars, and the mononuclear cell infiltrates concentrated in perivascular spaces composed of T cells, B lymphocy...
متن کاملMultiple sclerosis and anti-Plasmodium falciparum innate immune response.
Several epidemiological investigations conducted in Sardinia, insular Italy, indicate that the strong selective pressure of malaria along the centuries may have concurred to the elevated genetic MS-risk in this region. To test such hypothesis in an experimental setting, we have compared the immune response to P. falciparum (the causative agent of malaria) in Sardinian MS patients relative to th...
متن کاملThe immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease that is triggered by unknown exogenous agents in subjects with a specific genetic background. Genes of the major histocompatibility complex class II region are the only ones that have been consistently associated with the disease. However, susceptibility is probably mediated by a heterogeneous array of genes, which demonstrate epis...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis: concepts and controversies.
Hundred and fifty years after the discovery of multiple sclerosis (MS), neither the etiology nor the mechanism of disease is fully charted, and current treatment has only modest effect. The conceptual understanding of MS rests on the animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Based on 70 years experience with EAE, it is widely believed that MS is an inflammatory attack on mye...
متن کاملTLR2 – an innate immune checkpoint in multiple sclerosis
Our appreciation of the role of the innate immune system in the organ-specific autoimmunity is growing in parallel with better understanding of innate immunity and its function. Historically, more research had been devoted to adaptive immunity in initiating tissue damage in organ-specific autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the ce...
