TWEAK, a New Biomarker for Predicting Inflammatory Relapses in Multiple Sclerosis
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Determination of the circulating serum concentration of cytoquine TWEAK: Blood samples (20 ml of blood on dry tube) by venipuncture at the bend of the elbow will be made at T0, then monthly for a period of 1 year . The sera will be isolated by centrifugation and then frozen at -80 degrees Assays of the soluble form of TWEAK and TNF will be performed by ELISA blot technique developed by the team.
Study summary
A significant variation in the serum concentration of the circulating cytokine TWEAK is associated with the onset of an inflammatory attack of MS. Study the concentration variations of the serum soluble form of cytokine TWEAK during the first year of MS and to analyze their correlation with the occurrence of an inflammatory disease outbreak.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The serum concentration of soluble TWEAK — 1 year
We will then compare the soluble TWEAK concentrations observed in patients with anti-TWEAK antibodies and in patients without anti-TWEAK antibodies. We will study the correlation between the concentrations of soluble TWEAK and those of soluble TNF.
