A very enlightening publication!

It is interesting, I had a neurologist/researcher who always said T-cells, but it is Mice with EAE, not peeps with MS. I'm always filled with hope at new discoveries but have gotten used to being disappointed. I can only hope new info. helps someone find answers.

Hi Vic, nice to see you posting. Hope you and your wife are doing well!
Very interesting article-thanks for the info.

Good read. CD8 cells mentioned & CD4 (not mentioned) can be/have been decreased in humans by taking one of the estrogens called Estriol. I tried it for 2 months. Recently stopped because it has to be taken with progesterone (my prog level got cut in 1/2) and both scrips compounded are $76/month. When I see neuro end of month i'll ask him (if I want to keep taking it) to have it compounded together so cost will be $40 for both. That is what I believe causes remission during pregnancy.

T cells were shown in animation I saw in 2006 for Tysabri. Ty might target them. I'm on Ty and still progressing but at least daily shots ended 11 months ago.

Aids causes CD4 or CD8 (or both?) to plummet. I've always wondered how many people with Aids have MS.
