Alemtuzumab treatment seen to raise levels of regulatory T-cells and anti-inflammatory cytokines
Researchers have found that changes in the composition of immune molecules — specifically, a shift to more anti-inflammatory cytokines and regulatory T-cells (Tregs) — likely account for the efficiency of alemtuzumab as a treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).

Viragen Announces That OVA(TM) System Results are Published in Leading U.S. Scientific Journal
Viragen Announces That OVA(TM) System Results are Published in Leading U.S. Scientific Journal
Viragen, Inc.
(Amex: VRA; VRA.U; VRA.WS) and its collaborative partners in the field of
avian transgenics, Roslin Institute and Oxford Biomedica Plc (LSE: OXB),
today announced that the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of
the United States of America (PNAS), a leading scientific journal, has
published an article profiling the OVA(TM) System's ability to express two
therapeutic proteins in the whites of eggs of transgenic hens. The OVA(TM)
System is being developed as a novel, large-scale biomanufacturing
alternative capable of cost-effectively expressing many types of
therapeutic proteins.
The article, entitled, "Oviduct-specific expression of two therapeutic
proteins in transgenic hens," reports on the production of two protein drug
candidates: a humanized monoclonal antibody being developed by Viragen for
advanced malignant melanoma; and interferon beta-1a, which is currently
marketed under two competing brand names for the treatment of Multiple
Sclerosis (MS), as Avonex(R)* (Biogen Idec) and Rebif(R)** (Serono).
Article Summary:
Recent advances in avian transgenesis have led to the possibility of
utilizing the laying hen as a production platform for the large-scale
synthesis of pharmaceutical proteins. Ovalbumin constitutes more than half
of the protein in the white of a laid egg, and expression of the ovalbumin
gene is restricted to the tubular gland cells of the oviduct. Here we
describe the use of lentiviral vectors to deliver transgene constructs
comprising regulatory sequences from the ovalbumin gene designed to direct
synthesis of associated therapeutic proteins to the oviduct. We report the
generation of transgenic hens that synthesize functional recombinant
pharmaceutical protein in a tightly regulated tissue-specific manner,
without any evidence of transgene silencing after germ-line transmission.

I had to use a cane to walk in front of my mom,” said Johnson, 43, of Swansea. “That affected me.” Things dramatically changed about four years ago, after Johnson began taking part in a study of the experimental drug Lemtrada.The canes and walker he sometimes used are collecting dust in his hallway. He can ride his bike, play in the park with his dog, build robots in his basement and work full time as a computer technician at Southwestern Illinois College. Imaging of his brain shows no new damage. “Within three weeks, I felt like Superman,” Johnson said. He even got married.

The NBSS, developed specifically to assess the symptoms and consequences associated with neurogenic bladder dysfunction, has appropriate psychometric properties. Depending on the measurement need, individual domains may be selected, or it can be used as a comprehensive score.
The fraction of intrathecally-produced VZV-specific IgG of the total intrathecally produced IgG discriminates between patients with VZV reactivation and MS. Our results provide further evidence that intrathecally-produced VZV antibodies are part of the polyspecific immune response in patients with MS.
In addition to autoantigens implicated in thyroid autoimmunity, fibrocytes and derivative fibroblasts express multiple autoantigens associated with T1DM. This expression results from active gene promoters and abundant steady-state mRNA encoding ICA69 and IA-2. These latest findings demonstrate that fibrocytes express antigens relevant to multiple forms of endocrine autoimmunity. They suggest the potential for these cells playing a direct role in immune reactivity directed at the thyroid and pancreatic islets.
MMPs can also enhance the cleavage of myelin basic protein (MBP) and the demyelination process. Regarding the growing data on the roles of MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in the pathogenesis of MS, this review discusses the role of different types of MMPs, including MMP-2, -3, -7, -9, -12 and -25, in the immunopathogenesis and treatment of MS.
In a real-world setting, patients with MS who switched from IFNs to fingolimod were significantly less likely to experience relapses than those who switched to GA.

A period of diagnostic uncertainty regarding the transition from RRMS to SPMS existed in many of our patients. Potential reasons included the subtle nature of early progressive disease and caution in applying a progressive label, in light of the lack of evidence-based treatments as well as third-party payer concerns. Delay in definitive identification of an SPMS phenotype has a variety of implications related to patient care and research.

PLUS: 1440 new Studies we posted from 11/1 to Monday 2/2 Start at the Bottom! Magnetic susceptibility of MS lesions increased rapidly as it changed from enhanced to nonenhanced, it attained a high susceptibility value relative to NAWM during its initial few years (approximately 4 years), and it gradually dissipated back to susceptibility similar to that of NAWM as it aged, which may provide new insight into pathophysiologic features of MS lesions.
In a cohort with different stages of MS, higher EA attenuated the negative effects of white matter lesion burden and third ventricle width (suggestive of thalamic atrophy) on cognitive performance. Actively enhancing cognitive reserve might thus be a means to reduce or prevent cognitive problems in MS in parallel to disease modifying drugs.
These data suggest that retrograde (trans-synaptic) axonal degeneration stops at the inner nuclear layer, a neuronal network capable of plasticity. In contrast, there seems to be no neuroplasticity of the primary visual cortex, rendering the structure vulnerable to anterograde (trans-synaptic) degeneration.
Simultaneous characterizations of changes in tonic and phasic reflexes and nonreflex changes in joint elastic stiffness and viscosity in neurological disorders may help us gain insight into mechanisms underlying spasticity and develop impairment-specific treatment.
Very rapid functional changes in the excitability of cortical circuits involved in motor control can be induced by steroids, before any process of remyelination or axonal regeneration has time to occur. The net effect of steroids on the balance between intracortical GABAergic inhibition and glutamatergic facilitation was in favour of weaker inhibition or stronger facilitation, which could lead to improving the motor performance in MS patients.

It is possible that, with further such supportive data, international guidelines on MS treatment in young women who intend to get pregnant may need to be revised.
A significant interaction between Alerting and Executive Control was also found in the MS patients (p = .007). Early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis particularly affects the Alerting domain of attention, whereas the Orienting and Executive Control domains are not affected.
The GM is atrophic in MS. Although lower WM volume is associated with greater disability, as might be expected, WM volume was on average in the normal range. This paradoxical result might be explained by the presence of coexisting pathological processes, such as tissue damage and repair, that cause both atrophy and hypertrophy and that underlie the observed disability.
ApEn results revealed that the natural fluctuations present during gait in the stride length and step width time series are more regular and repeatable in patients with MS. These changes implied that patients with MS may exhibit reduced capacity to adapt and respond to perturbations during gait.

The number of patients becoming pregnant during fingolimod therapy remains small and does not permit firm conclusions to be drawn about fetal safety of fingolimod in humans. Given the known risks of teratogenicity in animals and the present data, women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during fingolimod therapy and for 2 months after discontinuation.
The relapse rate in children with multiple sclerosis is higher than in adult-onset disease. Following acute treatment, recovery after the first attacks is usually excellent, but patients with childhood-onset multiple sclerosis reach permanent disability or enter the secondary progressive disease course 10 years younger than patients with adult-onset multiple sclerosis.
Currently, various pharmacological agents such as antiepielptics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and even corticosteroids are used to suppress various painful conditions associated with MS.
