Interesting article out of Stanford - re: different types of MS

This is interesting...

Basically discusses how there are two types of MS - one that responds to interferon treatment and one that is made worse by such treatment - based on the types of helper cells in the individual.

Wouldn't that be great, if we knew who would respond positively to Beta Interferons and who would not, before you started jabbing yourself???

Thanks Keri. :)

Thanks for the read. So now we wait to see what works on Th17! I'll roll the dice on a Alfa.
