Journal ArticleDOI
T-cell recognition of an immunodominant myelin basic protein epitope in multiple sclerosis.
TL;DR: A higher frequency of T-cell lines reactive with a DR2-associated region of myelin basic protein between residues 84–102 in patients with multiple sclerosis compared with controls is reported, raising the possibility that this immunodominant region may be encephalitogenic in some DR2+ individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Double-blind pilot trial of oral tolerization with myelin antigens in multiple sclerosis
Howard L. Weiner,Glenn A. Mackin,Makoto Matsui,E. J. Orav,Samia J. Khoury,David M. Dawson,David A. Hafler +6 more
TL;DR: Although conclusions about efficacy cannot be drawn from these data, they open an area of investigation for MS and other autoimmune diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serial Neuropsychological Assessment and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis in Multiple Sclerosis
Marika J. Hohol,Charles R.G. Guttmann,John Orav,Glenn A. Mackin,Ron Kikinis,Samia J. Khoury,Ferenc A. Jolesz,Howard L. Weiner +7 more
TL;DR: Automated volumetric MRI measures of total lesion volume and brain to intracranial cavity volume ratio correlated with neuropsychological performance, especially in patients with chronic progressive MS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal MRI in multiple sclerosis: Correlation between disability and lesion burden
Samia J. Khoury,Charles R.G. Guttmann,E. J. Orav,Marika J. Hohol,S. S. Ahn,Liangge Hsu,Ron Kikinis,Glenn A. Mackin,Ferenc A. Jolesz,Howard L. Weiner +9 more
TL;DR: Findings support the validity of MRI as a measure of clinical activity and potentially as an objective quantitative outcome measure for assessing response to therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower motor neuron dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis
TL;DR: It is suggested that demyelination in the region of the ventral root exit zone may account for the findings of lower motor neuron syndrome involving 1 hand in multiple sclerosis patients.
