Abstract: Disclosed is a method of administering an interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) antagonist to a subject to treat an autoimmune disease. In particular embodiments, the IL-2R antagonist is an anti-IL-2R monoclonal antibody specific for one or more chains of the IL-2R, such as the alpha-chain, for example daclizumab. In other particular embodiments the autoimmune disease is multiple sclerosis. In certain embodiments administration of interferon-beta is combined with administration of an antagonist of the IL-2R to provide significant clinical improvement in a subject with an autoimmune disease.

Abstract: A variety of therapies are used to treat autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. However, there is no single therapy that can be used to treat all subjects. Thus, a method is provided to determine if a subject with an autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis, will respond to a therapeutic protocol. The method includes analyzing the expression of genes expressed by the immune system. Although the expression of a single gene can be assessed, such as interleukin-8, the methods include evaluating the expression profile of a subject using an array (such as a microarray) to determine if the subject is appropriately responding to the therapeutic protocol.

Abstract: An air cooled and insulated, see-through oven door for pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens including a reticulated metallic heat shield positioned between an inner glazed window pack assembly and an outer glass panel. Such reticulated heat shield has an inner reflective surface facing the oven cavity to assist in retaining heat and a black outer surface facing outwardly to reduce the reflection of outside light for improved viewing of the oven cavity through the door.
