Antibodies armed with functionality includ-ing catalytic Abs (catAbs) are multivalent immunoglobulin???s (Igs) with a capacity to hydrolyze the antigenic (Ag) substrate. In this sense, proteolytic Abs (Ab-proteases) represents Abs to provide proteolytic ef-fects. Abs against myelin basic protein/MBP with proteolytic activity exhibiting sequence-specific cleavage of MBP is of great value to monitor demyelination whilst in MS. The activity of Ab-proteases was first registered at the subclinical stages 1-2 years prior to the clinical illness. And the activity of the Ab-proteases revealed significant correlation with scales of de-myelination and the disability of the pa-tients as well. So, the activity of Ab-proteases and its dynamics tested would confirm a high subclinical and predictive (translational) value of the tools as applica-ble for personalized monitoring protocols. Of tremendous value are Ab-proteases di-rectly affecting remodeling of tissues with multilevel architectonics (for instance, myelin). By changing sequence specificity one may reach reduction of a density of the negative proteolytic effects within the mye-lin sheath and thus minimizing scales of demyelination. Ab-proteases can be pro-grammed and re-programmed to suit the needs of the body metabolism or could be designed for the development of new cata-lysts with no natural counterparts. Further studies are needed to secure artificial or ed-ited Ab-proteases as translational tools of the newest generation to diagnose, to moni-tor, to control and to treat and rehabilitate MS patients at clinical stages and to prevent the disorder at subclinical stages in persons-at-risks to secure the efficacy of regenera-tive manipulations.
