Role of gut commensal microflora in the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitisJavier Ochoa-Repáraz
Department of Medicine, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
J Immunol 183:6041-50. 2009..This approach may offer a new therapeutic paradigm in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and perhaps other autoimmune conditions...
A polysaccharide from the human commensal Bacteroides fragilis protects against CNS demyelinating diseaseJ Ochoa-Repáraz
Department of Medicine and Neurology, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, New Hampshire, USA
Mucosal Immunol 3:487-95. 2010..Protection against EAE was completely abrogated in IL-10-deficient mice. Our results show an important role for a molecule from human commensal bacteria in protecting against EAE and suggest the possibility for protection in MS...
Gut, bugs, and brain: role of commensal bacteria in the control of central nervous system diseaseJavier Ochoa-Repáraz
Department of Neurology, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH, USA
Ann Neurol 69:240-7. 2011..In contrast, other commensal bacteria and their antigenic products, when presented in the correct context, can protect against inflammation within the CNS...
Glatiramer acetate biases dendritic cells towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype by modulating OPN, IL-17, and RORγt responses and by increasing IL-10 production in experimental allergic encephalomyelitisSakhina Begum-Haque
Department of Neurology, Geisel Medical School at Dartmouth, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
J Neuroimmunol 254:117-24. 2013..Thus GA not only biases dendritic cells towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype, but also suppresses the expression of factors that affect the blood-brain barrier penetration during neuroinflammation...
Augmentation of regulatory B cell activity in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis by glatiramer acetateSakhina Begum-Haque
Department of Medicine, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH 03756 Multiple Sclerosis Center Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
J Neuroimmunol 232:136-44. 2011..Thus B cells can protect against EAE, and GA augments this effect in maintaining immune homeostasis and controlling EAE disease progression...
Central nervous system demyelinating disease protection by the human commensal Bacteroides fragilis depends on polysaccharide A expressionJavier Ochoa-Repáraz
Section of Neurology, Department of Medicine, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
J Immunol 185:4101-8. 2010..Our results suggest an important role for commensal bacterial Ags, in particular B. fragilis expressing polysaccharide A, in protecting against CNS demyelination in EAE and perhaps human multiple sclerosis...
Increased expression of B cell-associated regulatory cytokines by glatiramer acetate in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitisSakhina Begum-Haque
Department of Medicine, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA Multiple Sclerosis Center at Dartmouth College, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
J Neuroimmunol 219:47-53. 2010..Thus, GA impacts both B cell survival and B cell cytokine production during CNS inflammatory disease in an EAE model...
