If you shorten the half life of Tysabri, it stays in the body for less time, not more.

Azathioprine has an extremely short half-life itself, minutes, and its active derivatives have a half-life in the hours (1-3). I would be very surprised if it exerted any effect on the immune system months after discontinuation.
