Well, they can cure it in mice, anyway. They've taken two proteins that, individually, stimulate the immune system. But when they fuse them together in the lab, sprinkle them on B-cells and give them back intravenously, they suppress it! The treatment was effective with a single dose with no apparent side effects.

This would be wonderful if they could find a way to make it a reality for humans. Thanks for sharing the article with us, Twink!
I have one question. I've always wondered about this when they say "mice with MS". How do they know the mouse has MS? Do they do an MRI? An LP? It's a dx that takes so long for some people - what with eliminating dozens of other conditions and all - how do they dx MS in mice? What's the protocol? My cog fog is brutal these days so the answer may be very obvious.....ya'll don't laugh at me if it is!

I think (THINK) the give rats and Mice not MS, but a disease (stating with e??) and from knowledge they gave it to them and resulting behaviors work on it. It's not MS, mice aren't humans so us MSers don't alway benefit as benefits of cure not transferable. Hope we do this time.

Back in the mid 90's, my wife was enrolled in a MS clinical trial for a drug that stopped and reversed MS in the "mouse". After about a year into the trial, the high dose of the drug caused a fatal heart attack in a patient and the trial was quickly halted and abandoned. The time span for a discovery of this nature and when it may be trialled on humans is about 10 years! Harry Last edited by Harry Z; 08-13-2009 at 01:31 PM. |

The reason we have so many "cures" for mice now is because the researchers know what causes EAE. These research mice are "given" the disease, thereby making it much easier to cure EAE, which is not MS anyway.
Once the cause of MS is known there should be a lot of cures for people too. gmi |
