Nervenarzt 83:487-501. 2012..This review summarizes the pre-clinical and clinical development of alemtuzumab and discusses potential modes of action as well as the pathogenetic link to the treatment emergent autoimmune phenomena...
Conformational epitopes of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein are targets of potentially pathogenic antibody responses in multiple sclerosisTil Menge
Neuroimmunology Laboratories, Department of Neurology, University of California San Francisco, CA, USA
J Neuroinflammation 8:161. 2011..Because epitope specificity may be a key factor determining anti-MOG reactivity we aimed at identifying a priori immunodominant MOG epitopes by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and at assessing clinical relevance of these epitopes in MS...
