Catalytic Abs (catAbs) is multivalent immu-noglobulin (Igs) with a capacity to hydrolyze the antigenic (Ag) substrate. In this sense, proteolytic Abs (Ab-proteases) represents Abs to provide proteolytic effects. Abs against myelin basic protein/ MBP with pro-teolytic 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 sub-clinical stages, 1ΓΆΒ?Β?2 years prior to the clinical illness. The activity of the Ab-proteases re-vealed significant correlation with scales of demyelination and the disability of the pa-tients as well. So, the activity of Ab-proteases and its dynamics tested would con-firm a high subclinical and predictive (translational) value of the tools as applicable for personalized monitoring protocols. Of tre-mendous value are Ab-proteases directly af-fecting remodeling of tissues with multilevel architectonics, for instance, myelin. By changing sequence specificity, one may reach reduction of a density of the negative proteo-lytic effects within the myelin sheath and thus minimizing scales of demyelination. Ab-proteases can be programmed and re-programmed to suit the needs of the body metabolism or could be designed for the de-velopment of new catalysts with no natural counterparts. Further studies are needed to secure artificial or edited Ab-proteases as translational tools of the newest generation to diagnose, to monitor, to control and to treat and rehabilitate MS patients at clinical stages and to prevent the disorder at subclinical stages in persons-at-risks.
