Cerebrospinal fluid B cells correlate with early brain inflammation in multiple sclerosis.
<h4>Background</h4>There is accumulating evidence from immunological, pathological and therapeutic studies that B cells are key components in the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS).<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>In this prospective study we have for the first...
