Do any of you know the percentage of patients who develop antibodies to Tysabri?

Hi JJ and welcome to NeuroTalk!

The drug monograph lists information for antibodies under "Adverse reactions- Immunogenicity. See pages 9 and 10.

Hope that helps you!

I had my 10th infusion last week. I haven't been tested for antibodies, but I haven't had any reactions to suggest that they have developed either.

How is your fiancee doing with Tysabri so far?
