DNA Vaccine May Treat Multiple Sclerosis

Posted by samzenpus on from the good-for-what-ails-you dept.

GSASoftware writes "Multiple sclerosis is a serious, as-yet incurable neurological disease which causes blindness, paralysis and other serious symptoms. In a new development, a neuroimmunology researcher in Montreal has developed a therapeutic DNA vaccine. The cause of the disease is not fully understood, but it appears to be auto-immune. If a DNA vaccine can be an effective therapy for this auto-immune disease, is it possible that DNA vaccines could treat other auto-immune diseases like Crohn's, eczema, and others?"

    I'm not in Germany, nor am I German. But thank you for hiding behind your AC when you haven't got the balls to say it as yourself.
