Cool LOOK what I found! 6 Treatment Strategies

First I apologize for not writing down where I found this info but it was from some clinical journal place..lol, that's the best I can say. Here goes:
There are 6 treatment strategies:
1) Targets antigen specific B-Cells
2) Targets antigen Specific CD4+ T-Cells
3) Targets intereference with co-stimulatory response for antigen presentation
4) Target is aimed at inducing tolerance or anergy of CD4+ T-Cells to autoantigen or the CD4+ epitopes
5) Treatment is designed to stimulate the immunological circuits which activate CD8+ cells specific for activation antigens expressed by CD4+ cells
6) Treatment intervenes with the cytokine function and discourages the autoimmune mediated inflamatory responses.

So, what does this all mean-in normal language!! I understand some but I will keep studying and go in to next neuro visit fully armed for a good debate! I feel like a naughty child who just found Santa's presents under me mom's bed!!! I want to know by the lab results or whatever exam the WHY of my future treatments> OHHH I feel like I am about to get a handle or control over this mystery. giggle,giggle,giggle.
