Distinct Properties of Circulating CD8+ T Cells in FTY720-Treated Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

The expected forthcoming use of FTY720 as a sustained therapy for Multiple Sclerosis will clarify how this redistribution of lymphocyte populations affects the overall process of immune surveillance.
