A single mutation within the V3 envelope neutralization domain of feline immunodeficiency virus determines its tropism for CRFK cells

Description : Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) isolates differ in the ability to replicate in Crandell feline kidney (CRFK) cells. The difference in tropism between two variants of the Dutch isolate FIV-UT113 was studied by using molecular clones which contained the envelope genes of the variants in a backgrou...

Proinflammatory bacterial peptidoglycan as a cofactor for the development of central nervous system autoimmune disease

Description : Upon stimulation by microbial products through TLR, dendritic cells (DC) acquire the capacity to prime naive T cells and to initiate a proinflammatory immune response. Recently, we have shown that APC within the CNS of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients contain peptidoglycan (PGN), a major cell wall c...

Transfer of central nervous system autoantigens and presentation in secondary lymphoid organs

Description : Dendritic cells are thought to regulate tolerance induction vs immunization by transferring Ags and peripheral signals to draining lymph nodes (LN). However, whether myelin Ag transfer and presentation in LN occurs during demyelinating brain disease is unknown. In this study, we ...

Surgical excision of CNS-draining lymph nodes reduces relapse severity in chronic-relapsing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Description : Despite lack of classical lymphatic vessels in the central nervous system (CNS), cells and antigens do reach the CNS-draining lymph nodes. These lymph nodes are specialized to mediate mucosal immune tolerance, but can also generate T- and B-cell immunity. Their role in multiple sclerosis and experim...

Brain antigens in functionally distinct antigen-presenting cell populations in cervical lymph nodes in MS and EAE

Description : Drainage of central nervous system (CNS) antigens to the brain-draining cervical lymph nodes (CLN) is likely crucial in the initiation and control of autoimmune responses during multiple sclerosis (MS). We demonstrate neuronal antigens within CLN of MS patients. In monkeys and mice with experimental...
