In the normal central nervous system (CNS) expression of MHC class II is minimal, but has been found to be highly up-regulated on microglia cells in experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE). Here we used the EAE model to examine the regulation of expression of the class II transactivator (CIITA),

## Abstract Cerebral hypoxia induces a profound angiogenic response in the central nervous system (CNS). Using a mouse model of chronic cerebral hypoxia, we previously demonstrated that angiogenic vessels in the hypoxic CNS show marked upregulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein fibronec
## Abstract ## Objective Tollβlike receptors (TLRs) are patternβassociated receptors in innate immunity that may be involved in the recognition of self antigens and the production of pathogenic autoantibodies. This study was undertaken to examine the expression and function of various TLRs in subp
We have developed a new model of generalized autoimmunity of the rat nervous system to study differential immunoregulation, barrier-function, and parenchymal inflammatory processes. We designed a mul ticomponen t synthetic gene encoding major pathogenic determinants for Lewis rats of myelin basic pr
