Multiple sclerosis is a putative autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that is characterised pathologically by inflammation, demyelination and variable degrees of axonal loss. Numerous immunomodulatory therapies have been licensed, or are in late stage development, to treat multiple sclerosis including several monoclonal antibodies. Dissecting out the mode of action of the targeted monoclonal antibodies is providing interesting insights into the pathogenesis of MS.
