Sera from 44 patients with Multiple Sclerosis, of three patients with neurological syndromes compatible with Multiple Sclerosis, of 34 patients suffering from other neurological diseases and of 25 pregnant healthy young women were tested for their demyelinating activity in myelinated tissue cultures
## Background: Acute symptomatic inflammation is a main feature of multiple sclerosis but pathophysiological processes underlying total or partial recovery are poorly understood. ## Objective: To characterize in vivo these processes at molecular, structural and functional levels using multimodal
The influence of disease activity on blood cell counts was studied in over 100 multiple sclerosis patients examined at regular intervals of 4-8 weeks over an 18-month period. T-lymphocytes were assessed by the cytochemical alpha-naphthyl-acetate-esterase (ANAE) stain in addition to conventional diff
