Someone asked me about Multiple Sclerosis and lero
Post# of 148234
Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the myelin sheath covering the nerve fibers and the fibers themselves are damaged by heavily activated microglia and macrophages. That activation and movement to the myelin sheath is driven by the binding of ligands to CCR5 and other immune activation receptors upregulating inflammatory cytokines and increasing immune response. CCR5 is the CCR receptor with the highest expression and most responsible for an overactive immune response.
Leronlimab by blocking CCR5 downregulates a wide range of those inflammatory cytokines and would lower the overactive immune response seen in MS. Leronlimab's lack of serious adverse events in over 1,000 patients is also a plus.
