Popis: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients were stimulated with myelin basic protein (MBP) together with anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody and staphylococcal enterotoxin B to optimize cytokine production by antigen-specific cells. Type 1 (IL-2, IL-12, IFNgamma) and pro-inflammatory (TNFalpha, IL-1beta, IL-6) cytokines were augmented in CD4+, CD8+, and CD14+ cells of acute MS patients and of patients undergoing disease reactivation. These cytokines were reduced in IFNbeta-treated and in stable MS patients; type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-10) were increased in these patients. Similar immune profiles are seen in MS patients in whom remission is naturally or pharmacologically (IFNbeta) achieved. Cytokine alterations are particularly evident in CD14+ cells, underlying their critical role in the modulation of the immune response.
