What’s inside
View ResearchDiscover the innovative approach of using PEGylated antigenic peptides for preventing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model for multiple sclerosis (MS). This study demonstrates that PEGylation enhances peptide-based vaccines' efficacy by inducing regulatory T cells and reducing immune cell infiltration in the CNS. The findings suggest a potential for PEGylated peptides in developing safer, more effective therapies for autoimmune diseases.
