Biological markers for multiple sclerosis, and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease, are described. Also described are methods for treating multiple sclerosis by administering an inhibitor of cathepsin B activity or a neuroprotective composition comprising a modified terpenoid compound. Also described are isolated polypeptide biomarkers, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptide biomarkers, and antibodies that bind specifically to the polypeptide biomarkers. Further described are kits that include the above-mentioned isolated polypeptide biomarkers, the polynucleotides encoding them, or specific antibodies against the polypeptide biomarkers.
