Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) leading to demyelinization. Although our knowledge on the pathomechanism of MS has evolved dramatically in recent years; however there is still no effective cure for MS. So far, non-specific immune suppressive agents are used to slow down the disease. Recently, there are many efforts to find a new method that would allow to control specifically unwanted immune response. It might be achieved by affecting antigen recognition or induction of "immune deviation".
