Abstract excerpt
The present in vitro study aimed to define the involvement of astrocytes and microglia in the initial inflammatory response of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis (TME), a virus-induced mouse model of multiple sclerosis, and whether intralesional microglia exert pro- (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2) effects following TME virus (TMEV) infection. Therefore astrocytes and microglia were purified from neonatal murine...
