RT @MSDForum: Daclizumab did well in phase 3 trials for #MS. Here's the story behind the story http://t.co/PFzsfHqKs1
an analysis of samples from blood and cerebrospinal fluid suggests that daclizumab nudges the abnormal numbers of innate and adaptive immune cells in RRMS back to more normal physiological levels found in people without MS (Lin et al., 2014).
the therapeutic efficacy of daclizumab paralleled the expansion of a key target cell population, called CD56bright natural killer cells (CD56bright NK). That raised hopes for a biomarker that could measure who was responding and predict who would do best.

Great story about the discovery and development of daclizumab and its unexpected effects on activating the immune system. immunotherapy of MS.
