I guess you didn't understand my reply. The abstract you referenced states that the immune response is increased in the bloodstream. There is no viral proliferation in the bloodstream and won't be because of the increased immune response there.

The issues with Tysabri relate to infections outside of the bloodstream - I believe the only safety signal that has been confirmed through commercial use is PML.
