Characterization of Teriflunomide's Therapeutic Mechanisms of Action in Patients With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.
The purpose of this research is to characterize the effect of teriflunomide on the activation
of B-cells, as well as its capacity to modify B-cell cytokine secretion. The in-vitro
identified effects of teriflunomide on the expression of B-cell activation markers,
costimulatory and antigen presenting molecules, as well as on cytokine secretion, will then
be confirmed in a cohort of Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) patients treated
with this medication.
