Journal ArticleDOI
Oligodendrocyte-specific Argonaute profiling identifies microRNAs associated with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
TL;DR: The enrichment in miRNAs mediating pro-myelinating signals suggests an active involvement of these non-coding RNAs in the homeostatic response toward neuroinflammatory injury.
Patent
Polypeptide pertussis toxin vaccine
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of defining oligopeptides is provided for determining useful immunodominant sequences for use as vaccines for pathogens, which involves identifying sequences by particular selection procedures and using such sequences with antigen-presenting cells and T-cells to demonstrate activation of the common histocompatibility antigens DQ and DR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for association of chromosome 10 open reading frame (C10orf27) gene polymorphisms and multiple sclerosis
Robert Goertsches,Sergio E. Baranzini,Carlos Morcillo,Carlos Nos,Montse Camiña,Jorge R. Oksenberg,Xavier Montalban,Manuel Comabella +7 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest C10orf27 as a candidate gene for MS susceptibility and pathogenesis and Transcript expression in brain lesions from MS patients was increased and significant association with disease susceptibility was revealed.

T-Cell Receptor Repertoire Vβ in Alopecia Areata

Chromosome 17q22–q24 and multiple sclerosis genetic susceptibility
Bertrand Fontaine,I. Cournu,I. Arnaud,Marie-Claude Babron,Sophie Eichenbaum-Voline,Jorge R. Oksenberg,Margaret A. Pericak-Vance,J. L. Haines,G. Semama,Roland S. Liblau,Olivier Lyon-Caen,Françoise Clerget-Darpoux,M. Clanet,Stephen L. Hauser +13 more
TL;DR: It is possible to exclude that the 17q22–24 region might contain a gene increasing the sibling recurrence risk of MS over 1.4, rendering the existence of such a gene very unlikely, at least in the group of tested families.
