From the Brain and Mind Research Institute (K.M.T., T.V.), Weill Cornell Medicine; Department of Neurology (K.M.T., U.W.K., J.P., S.A.G., M.K.-H., C.E., M.M., T.V.), Weill Cornell Medicine; and Department of Healthcare Policy and Research (X.W., I.D.), Weill Cornell Medicine, New York.
Objective: To determine the influence of self-reported Black African and Latin American identity on peripheral blood antibody-secreting cell (ASC) frequency in the context of relapsing-remitting MS.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 74 subjects with relapsing-remitting MS and 24 age-, and self-reported ethno-ancestral identity-matched healthy donors (HDs) to provide peripheral blood study samples. Subjects with MS were either off therapy at the time of study draw or on monthly natalizumab therapy infusions.
