Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are caused by unusual infectious agents that are purported to contain a single type of macromolecule, a modified host glycoprotein. The term prion has been applied to this group of agents. Surprisingly, the immune system appears to behave as a Trojan's horse rather than a protective fortification during prion ...

GATA3 induces the pathogenicity of Th17 cells via regulating GM-CSF expression
T-bet-expressing Th17 (T-bet+RORγt+) cells are associated with the induction of pathology during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and the encephalitic nature of these Th17 cells can be explained by their ability to produce GM-CSF. However,

The innate immune system in demyelinating disease [PDF]
Summary: Demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis are chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases with a heterogeneous clinical presentation and course. Both the adaptive and the innate immune systems have been suggested to contribute to their pathogenesis and recovery. In this review, we discuss the role of the innate immune system in mediating
