Abstract

A review of latest immunological interpretations regarding the pathogenesis of Multiple the Sclerosis.

Data on a new immunoenzymatic method for the identification of blood lymphocyte populations are presented together with preliminary results relating to an immunogenetic correlation between primary affective disorders and Multiple Sclerosis.
