Previously, we showed that CD206-targeted liposomal delivery of co-encapsulated immunodominant myelin basic protein (MBP) sequences MBP46–62, MBP124–139 and MBP147–170 (Xemys) suppressed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in dark Agouti rats. This evidence concerns the gene MRC1 and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
