Prevention of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by antibodies against alpha 4 beta 1 integrin.

TL;DR: In vitro adhesion assay on tissue sections found that lymphocytes and monocytes bound selectively to inflamed EAE brain vessels, and therapies designed to interfere with α4βl integrin may be useful in treating inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis.
