The proposed mechanism of action of MBP8298 is, by design, to re-introduce such a state of "tolerance" to a critical portion of the nerve's Myelin Basic Protein that is an immunological site of attack in many MS patients. When the scientists exposed rats to the gas, an abundant brain protein called myelin basic protein underwent chemical changes. Copaxone or copolymer 1 (now known generically as glatiramer acetate for injection) is a synthetic protein that simulates myelin basic protein, a component of the material called myelin that insulates nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. |
