Interestingly, immune deviation can be elicited against myelin antigens (61, 62) , pointing to the potential role for Qa-1-restricted CD8 + T-cells in EAE disease. We have also demonstrated that GA treatment induces CD8 + Treg in mice, and that these CD8 + T-cells are required for GA to be therapeutically effective in ameliorating EAE disease (64) . Furthermore, relapses in MS are associated with significantly lower CNS-specific CD8 + T-cell suppressor ability, while this potential in MS patients during quiescence is similar to healthy donors, suggesting a role with disease activity (5) . ./cache/cord-318630-h6j7iqbm.txt ./txt/cord-318630-h6j7iqbm.txt
