Abstract excerpt
Although the blood-brain barrier and blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier maintain the central nervous system (CNS) as an immunologically privileged site, T lymphocytes can migrate through unstimulated brain endothelium and epithelium to perform immune surveillance or initiate inflammation. Our prior results suggested that early CNS migration of a CD4 Th1 cell line was facilitated by P selectin (CD62P) in...
