“…Basic and clinical research demonstrates that suppressing the immune response by depleting autoreactive immune cells may re‐establish the immune balance (Wraith, ). Taking MS for example, monoclonal antibodies (including Rituximab and Ocrelizumab) that selectively target and deplete CD20 + B cells have been approved for the treatment of MS (Greenfield & Hauser, ; Hauser et al, ; Sabatino, Zamvil, & Hauser, ; Salzer et al, ). Our colleagues have demonstrated that relapsing–remitting MS patients with Rituximab as the initial treatment have better relapse control and tolerability in comparison with other disease‐modifying drugs (Granqvist et al, ; Spelman, Frisell, Piehl, & Hillert, ).…”
