title: Immunointervention with cyclosporin A in autoimmune neurological disorders.
abstract: Cyclosporin A has proven a remarkably effective compound in suppressing disease activity in a number of animal models of autoimmune neurological disorders. During the last decade a number of controlled clinical trials have been carried out in human neurological disorders which are considered to be immune-mediated. The results of those trials are reviewed.
