CXCL10 Is Associated with Increased Cerebrospinal Fluid Immune Cell Infiltration and Disease Duration in Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Elevated levels of CXCL10 in the CSF of MS cases are associated with increased T cells but appear to be independent of peripheral CXCR3 expression. These results support the importance of elevated CXCL10 in MS and suggest the presence of an alternative mechanism of CXCL10 outside of solely influencing immune cell trafficking.
