Abstract excerpt
Overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines in the brains of transgenic animals causes brain pathology. To investigate the relationship between brain cytokines and pathology in the brains of animals with adult-onset, pathophysiologically induced brain cytokine expression, we studied rats infected with the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Several weeks after infection, in situ hybridization histochemistry showed a...
