Lymphocytotoxic antibody in multiple sclerosis: activity against T cell subsets and correlation with disease activity.

abstract：:The concept that during an immune challenge the release of glucocorticoids (GC) provides feedback inhibition on evolving immune responses has been drawn primarily from studies of autoimmune and/or inflammatory processes in animal models. The epidemic form of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) occurs secondary to infect...
