[Phagocyte activity and the interferon system in patients with different types of multiple sclerosis]
Abstract:
Phagocyte activity and the interferon system was studied in 40 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), including 22 patients with remitting MS type, 7 patients with primary progressive MS and 11 patients with secondary progressive MS. A control group included 15 healthy people. Changes in the parameters studied were found in all groups of patients. The most marked changes in the phagocyte section of immunity and in the interferon system were seen in patients with primary progressive and secondary progressive MS. The data obtained may be used in diagnosis and choice of treatment in MS patients.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
