Humoral immune response to influenza vaccine in natalizumab-treated MS patients.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a cytokine that is an important modulator of immune responses. However, its roles in epilepsy are not completely clear. Here, we investigated the expression and distribution of IL-21 in a kainic acid (KA)-induced acute seizure mouse model. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Mice (n = 146) were r...
