Anti-Inflammatory Type II Monocyte Induction by Glatiramer Acetate (Copaxone) Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
October 4, 2013 updated by: University of California, San Francisco
The purpose of this study is to determine whether glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) will induce anti-inflammatory type II monocyte development during treatment of MS, and if these antigen presenting cells (APC) will promote Th2 and Treg differentiation of naïve T cells.
