摘要:
The present invention refers to a method of predicting response of a human subject to Interferon beta, (IFN-β), wherein the subject is suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and wherein the method comprises using, as an indicator, the percentage of CD5+ CD19+ CD45+ B cells over the total count of lymphocytes (CD45+ cells) in a biological sample originating from the human subject and the percentage of CD8+ CD45+ perforin+ T cells over the total count of lymphocytes (CD45+ cells) in a biological sample originating from the human subject, wherein if the percentage of CD5+ CD19+ CD45+ B cells over the total count of lymphocytes (CD45+ cells) is lower than or equal to 3% and/orthe percentage of CD8+ CD45+ perforin+ T cells over the total count of lymphocytes (CD45+ cells) is greater than or equal to 1%, is indicative of response.
