Viral infections trigger multiple sclerosis relapses: a prospective seroepidemiological study. A neurological surveillance was combined with prospective recording of upper respiratory and gastrointestinal infections and serological diagnosis of five common viral infections in 60 benign multiple sclerosis patients with a mean follow-up of 31 months... There was a significant correlation between adenovirus CF titre rises associated with upper respiratory tract infections and the occurrence of a major MS relapse in the AR period (n=7), while influenza infections were not followed by a major S relapse (n=6). Linear homologies have been demonstrated between adenovirus and basic myelin protein.

Alpha and beta interferons play an important role in the regulation of the normal immune response. The abnormal production of type I interferons can, however, lead to an inappropriate immune response and to the development of autoimmunity and to the rejection of allografts. The cloning of the type I interferon receptor in our laboratory has enabled us to synthesise soluble variants of the receptor and to isolate a monoclonal antibody capable of inhibiting the biologic action of all the type I interferons tested. We have shown that treatment of monkeys with the anti-interferon receptor antibody together with a subeffective dose of cyclosporin A results in permanent survival of skin and bone marrow allografts. 1, record 20, English, - anti%2Dinterferon

Les immunomodulateurs agissent soit en bloquant les lymphocytes qui franchissent la barrière sang-cerveau(le copolymère, bien toléré, mais qui n’ est pas encore autorisé en Europe) soit en s’opposant à l'action de certaines molécules destructives de la myéline(l'interféron ß). Ils réduisent la fréquence des poussées d’environ 30%; l'interféron ß semble, en outre, retarder l'apparition du handicap. En revanche, ce dernier présente des effets secondaires(fatigue, maux de tête, fièvre), qui disparaissent toutefois au bout de quelques semaines. Autre inconvénient, environ 20% des patients développent des anticorps anti-interféron ß. 2, record 20, French, - anti%2Dinterf%C3%A9ron
