Background: Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against interferon beta (IFN beta) lead to loss of treatment efficacy in multiple sclerosis patients. The seroprevalence of NAbs in multiple sclerosis patients treated with IFN beta during 2003-2004 was 32% in a cross-sectional analysis of routine data.Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the seroprevalence of NAbs, the levels of NAb titres and the IFNa preparations used for treatment of multiple sclerosis patients had changed in 2009-2010.Methods: This study included 1296 patients, analysed for NAbs with the myxovirus resistance protein A gene expression assay in 2009-2010.Results: The seroprevalence of NAbs had decreased to 19% in 2009-2010, which is significantly lower compared with the previous study in 2003-2004 (p
