Nitric oxide (NO) is hypothesized to play a role in the immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Increased levels of NO metabolites have been found in patients with MS. Peroxynitrite, generated by the reaction of NO with superoxide at sites of inflammation, is a strong oxidant capable of damag
## Abstract Predictors and laboratory correlates of the response of patients with multiple sclerosis to glucocorticoids are not well defined. Our study was undertaken to determine if the levels of myelin basic protein (MBP)βlike material in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) might indicate which patients wi
