CNS antigen presentation

Trends in Neurosciences
M N Hart, Z Fabry

Abstract

Presentation of antigens for the CNS follows the same general rules as for other tissues. However, the presence of special CNS cells with immune functions plus the blood-brain barrier (BBB) suggests that differences in the way that the immune system functions in the CNS might help to explain why some autoimmune diseases are unique to the CNS. Irrespective of whether CNS antigen presentation takes place inside or outside the CNS (or both), the BBB clearly plays a major role in CNS immune function. The BBB governs the quantity and type of lymphocytes that enter the CNS by way of specific adhesion-molecule binding between lymphocytes and endothelium and possibly by selecting for antigen-specific lymphocytes in antigen-recognition events.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.
