A new monoclonal antibody, Sclerosimumab, is being tested for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. From a mechanistic perspective, it has been found to inhibit the release of IL-4 (interleukin-4). Based on this mechanism, which of the following would be affected? Recruitment of macrophages to sites of inflammation None of these is correct. Release of cytotoxic enzymes from Natural Killer Cells Class switching of immunoglobulins Switching of TH1 helper T cells to TH2 helper T cells
