Neopterin production and tryptophan degradation during 24-months therapy with interferon beta-1a in multiple sclerosis patients

BACKGROUND: Increased synthesis of neopterin and degradation of tryptophan to kynurenine, measured as kynurenine/tryptophan ratio (kyn/trp ratio), are considered in vitro markers of interferon beta-1a (IFNβ-1a) activity.
