Wannabe,
Normally, when a pharma develops a vaccine to fight a disease, it knows what causes the disease and creates a drug which allows your system to produce anti-bodies against it.
Today, nobody knows what causes MS or even if it's an auto-immune disease. Certain discoveries in the past couple of years have thrown a lot of doubt on the auto-immune theory as well.
So I ask the question....how is someone going to get a vaccine to work on a disease that has no known cause? Or is this new T-cell peptide just another drug to alter the immune system in MS patients in the hope of trying yet another medication.
