Abstract excerpt
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are fatal neurodegenerative disorders in which the visual system is affected early in disease progression. A typical accompanying feature is neuroinflammation, the pathogenic impact of which is presently obscure. Here we investigated the role of inflammatory cells in palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1-deficient (Ppt1(-/-)) mice, a model of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis...
