## Abstract Schwann cells within a peripheral nerve respond robustly after an axonal injury. Recent results have revealed that Schwann cells undergo concurrent proliferation and apoptosis after a chronic nerve injury that is independent of axonal pathology. Although the exact nature of the stimulus

Previous studies have shown that myelin basic protein (MBP) is mitogenic for Schwann cells (SCs) in the presence of elevated intracellular CAMP. Two mitogenic regions of MBP have been identified: one mitogenic region within the first 44 residues of the aminoterminus (1-44) and the other mitogenic re
## Chemokine gene expression and chemokine activity appear to be major components of the immunopathological processes of inflammation and autoimmunity. To initiate an investigation of the role of chemokines in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammatory demyelination, we examined the expression of
