Glucocorticoids have diverse effects on various components of the immune system and assessment of such activities in vivo often involves complex techniques and numerous animals. We developed a whole blood technique for determining proliferation rate of lymphocytes in minute amounts of rat blood (5 m

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) can induce rapid breakdown and removal of myelin from the adult mammalian CNS. In this paper we report the detailed characterization of the immune cell response as well as changes in the expression of cell adhesion molecules and the permeability of the blood-brain barri
## Abstract We have previously shown that intraspinal microinjection of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a potent demyelinating agent, results in a rapid but brief influx of T cells (between 6 and 12 h). This is accompanied by a robust activation of macrophages/microglia that leads to demyelination b
