Resetting the immune system with immunoablation and autologous
... In autoimmune diseases, pathogenic T cell functions are mediated by autoreactive memory effector T cells; their elimination is therefore presumed to ameliorate autoimmune inflammation. In line with this notion, Sun and colleagues (21) demonstrated largely reduced T-cell responses to myelin basic pro ...
