Ocrelizumab affects both humoral and cellular immune responses. Disability progression over the follow-up was associated with lower CD8 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte reduction. Changes in humoral response are immediate and sustained, while modulation of cellular immunity occurs progressively through regular re-treatment, and is related to clinical stability.
