Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a well-characterized autoantigen potentially involved in the pathogenesis of the most common human demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), multiple sclerosis (MS). It is known that MBP-specific T-cell responses differ widely among different individual
Inducing apoptosis of activated lymphocytes via Fas ligand (FasL, CD95) may be a useful strategy for the treatment of autoimmune diseases mediated by pathogenic T cells. We propose that B cells may be ideal tools for effective delivery of a FasL-mediated apoptotic signal to pathogenic T cells for a
