In patients with multiple sclerosis, T cells inappropriately attack the myelin that protects neurons and may result in progressive neurologic symptoms. Currently, many treatments for such disorders work by nonselectively down-regulating immune function. But this can leave patients vulnerable to complications, such as infection, so scientists have been seeking ways to selectively turn down aberrant immune activity.
