Pro‐Inflammatory c‐Met+ CD4 T Cells in Multiple Sclerosis
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) binds exclusively the c‐Met surface receptor, and the HGF/c‐Met axis regulates T cell function in autoimmune diseases. We analyzed c‐Met expression on human CD4 T cells in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) versus non‐inflammatory neurological disease (NIND), to ...
