Effect of targeted disruption of STAT4 and STAT6 on the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is mediated by myelin-specific CD4(+) T cells secreting Th1 cytokines, while recovery from disease is associated with expression of Th2 cytokines. Investigations into the role of individual cytokines in disease induction have yielded contradictory results.
