Abstract excerpt
PLP overexpressing mice display demyelination and axonopathic changes, accompanied by an elevation of CD8+ T-lymphocytes and CD11b+ macrophages in the CNS. By crossbreeding these mutants with RAG-1-deficient mice lacking mature lymphocytes, we could recently demonstrate a pathogenetic impact of the CD8+ cells. In the present study, we investigated the pathogenetic impact of CD11b+ macrophages by crossbreeding the...
