Gene transfer into CD4(super.+) T lymphocytes: green fluorescent protein-engineered, encephalitogenic T cells illuminate brain autoimmune responses
Article Abstract:
Gene transfer into CD4 T lymphocytes is discussed as it relates to green fluorescent protein (GFP)-engineered, encephalitogenic T cells, which have been found to illuminate brain autoimmune responses. The technique of the study has implications of importance for development of safe/efficient therapeutic strategies involving gene-modified antigen-specific T lymphocytes. Topics include comparison of GFP with other marker techniques. Lewis rats were used.

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis repressed by microglial paralysis
Article Abstract:
Ganciclovir blocked microglial activation in the facial nucleus in bone marrow chimeras to CD11b-HSVTK transgene mice upon axotomy and repressed the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Microbial paralysis inhibits the development and maintenance of inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) lesions.
