## Abstract Activated microglia can influence the survival of neural cells through the release of cytotoxic factors. Here, we investigated the interaction between Tollβlike receptor 4 (TLR4)βactivated microglia and oligodendrocytes or their precursor cells (OPC). Primary rat or N9 microglial cells

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) has been shown to inhibit oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation. Within the immune system, IL-2 biological action is dependent strictly on the expression of the IL-2 receptor. The antibody TAC, which specifically binds the lymphocyte IL-2 receptor, has been shown to also
We have previously described the expression of a functional full-length trkC transcript for neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) receptor in oligodendroglia (OL) cells (Kumar and de Vellis, 1996). To date, the role of NT-3 and its signal transduction cascade in OL remains poorly defined. We report that the NT-3 re
