Abstract excerpt
In demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, an upregulation of MHC class I expression is thought to contribute to oligodendrocyte/myelin damage. In order to investigate potential physiological consequences of upregulated MHC class I expression in oligodendrocytes, we generated transgenic mice that overexpress H-2L(d) under the control of the proteolipid protein (PLP) promoter (PLP-L(d) mice). We...
