Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Anti-CD25 Antibody Daclizumab in the Inhibition of Inflammation and Stabilization of Disease Progression in Multiple Sclerosis
Bibiana Bielekova,T. Howard,Amy N. Packer,Nancy Richert,Gregg Blevins,Joan Ohayon,Thomas A. Waldmann,Henry F. McFarland,Roland Martin +8 more
TL;DR: Daclizumab monotherapy is effective in most patients who experienced persistent MS disease activity with interferon beta therapy and pilot biomarkers were identified that can differentiate between full and partial dacluzumab responders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trial of Minocycline in a Clinically Isolated Syndrome of Multiple Sclerosis
Luanne M. Metz,David K B Li,Anthony Traboulsee,Pierre Duquette,Misha Eliasziw,Graziela Cerchiaro,Jamie Greenfield,Andrew Riddehough,Michael Yeung,Marcelo Kremenchutzky,Galina Vorobeychik,Mark S. Freedman,Virender Bhan,Gregg Blevins,James J. Marriott,Francois Grand'Maison,Liesly Lee,Manon Thibault,Michael D. Hill,V. Wee Yong,Minocycline in Ms Study Team +20 more
TL;DR: The risk of conversion from a clinically isolated syndrome to multiple sclerosis was significantly lower with minocycline than with placebo over 6 months but not over 24 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of quantitative susceptibility mapping with Perls' iron staining for subcortical gray matter.
Hongfu Sun,Andrew J. Walsh,R. Marc Lebel,Gregg Blevins,Ingrid Catz,Jian-Qiang Lu,Edward S. Johnson,Derek Emery,Kenneth G. Warren,Alan H. Wilman +9 more
TL;DR: This work validates the accuracy of QSM for brain iron mapping and also confirms ferric iron as the dominant susceptibility source in subcortical GM, by demonstrating high linear correlation ofQSM to Perls' ferricIron staining.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulatory T Cells Are Reduced During Anti-CD25 Antibody Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Unsong Oh,Gregg Blevins,Caitlin Griffith,Nancy Richert,Dragan A. Maric,C. L Richard Lee,Henry F. McFarland,Steven Jacobson +7 more
TL;DR: The incidence of new-onset inflammatory disease outside of the central nervous system in a subset of patients, however, warrants further studies to examine the possibility of compartmental differences in the capacity to maintain tolerance in the setting of reduced CD4+CD25+ Treg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrathecal effects of daclizumab treatment of multiple sclerosis.
Bibiana Bielekova,Nancy Richert,Matthew L. Herman,Joan Ohayon,Thomas A. Waldmann,Hugh I. McFarland,Roland Martin,Gregg Blevins +7 more
TL;DR: Daclizumab monotherapy inhibits formation of MS plaques in patients with RRMS and immunoregulatory NK cells may suppress activation of pathogenic immune responses directly in the CNS compartment.
