Summary
Multiple sclerosis (SM) is a chronic demyelinating central nervous system disease, probably of autoimmune origin. Up till now there is no specific treatment for SM. Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) is one of the drugs of great interest however its mechanism of action remains not fully known. The aim of our study was to evaluate if one-year glatiramer therapy affects immune parameters of peripheral blood in MS patient. The analysis was carried out using two-colour flow cytometry.
