Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis is a disease induced by neuroantigen-reactive T cells bearing particular types of T cell receptor (TCR). Although the nature of TCRs of encephalitogenic T cells has been partially delineated using encephalitogenic T cell clones established in vitro, the enti

An increase in neurotrophic activity for the survival of dissociated sensory neurones has been found in the spinal cord of morphine dependent rats. This activity is not due to morphine itself and is not due to an increase in the nerve growth factor as antibodies to nerve growth factor fail to block
The gene plp on the X chromosome encodes the isoforms proteolipid protein (PLP) and DM 20 , two dominant integral membrane proteins of central nervous system (CNS) myelin. DM 20 results from the activation of the cryptic splice site in exon III of the PLP gene. We inserted a sense-orientated loxP fl
Dual retrograde axonal tracers, Fluoro-Gold (FG) and true blue (TB), were used in conjunction with [ 3 H]thymidine autoradiography to determine the number and neurogenic pattern of neurons with supraspinal projections in the superficial dorsal horn (SDH), i.e., laminae I and II, in spinal segment L1
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) promotes axonal regeneration in the peripheral nervous system and this effect is enhanced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). We decided, therefore, to study the effects of these factors on axonal regeneration in the adult rat spinal cord. Semipermeable pol
