    Javier 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...
  2. ncbi A polysaccharide from the human commensal Bacteroides fragilis protects against CNS demyelinating disease
    J 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...
  3. ncbi Gut, bugs, and brain: role of commensal bacteria in the control of central nervous system disease
    Javier 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...
  4. ncbi 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 encephalomyelitis
    Sakhina 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...
  5. ncbi Augmentation of regulatory B cell activity in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis by glatiramer acetate
    Sakhina 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...

    Javier 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...
