Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) has long been considered a CD4 T-cell disease, primarily because of the findings that the strongest genetic risk for MS is the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II locus, and that T cells play a central role in directing the immune response. The importance that the T helper (Th)1 cytokine, interferon ? (IFN-?), and the Th17 cytokine, interleukin (IL)-17, play in MS pathogenesis is indicated by recent clinical trial data by the enhanced presence of Th1/Th17 cells in central nervous system (CNS) tissue, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and blood, and by research on animal models of MS, such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Although the majority of research on MS pathogenesis has centered on the role of effector CD4 T cells, accumulating data suggests that CD8 T cells may play a significant role in the human disease. In fact, in contrast to most animal models, the primary T cell found in the CNS in patients with MS, is the CD8 T cell. As patient-derived effector T cells are also resistant to mechanisms of dominant tolerance such as that induced by interaction with regulatory T cells (Tregs), their reduced response to regulation may also contribute to the unchecked effector T-cell activity in patients with MS. These concepts will be discussed below.

Try and look at this as the opposite to the issues Scancell discovered over the period of development of the Modi1 vaccine
The issue most cannot understand is that Cd4 T cells are so diverse and to understand the process of Autophagy, Cd4 activation, differential changes etc etc ..... was and still is massive
so we need to make it simple ....
Cd4 Helper T cells are helping a Cd8 attack
so they are in effect .... effector cells
To control the response the CD4 then have the opposite "Regulatory T cells" ... so these guys calm the response
so in RA etc ... your trying to calm the response ......... "more regulatory t cells"
in cancer you want the opposite ....... "more effector t cells"
you can read about this in Scancells research ... why so indepth ... well the first thing a regulator will ask ...
How does it work
So what Lindy has presented here (bermuda's link) is the Compressed science of all the work they have done consolidated into one report with additions of unpublished work ...
so i suspect this is part of the move to the clinic and the preparation of the science which is to be presented to the regulators
for the Modi1 vaccine
