Multiple sclerosis: immunologic aspects
Ann Clin Lab Sci.
1975 Sep-Oct.
Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Although the causes are not known, the pathogenesis likely involves complex relationships between autoimmunity, immunogenetics, immunologic deficiency and viral infection. The evidence for such interrelationships is discussed.
