Modulation of fibronectin expression in the central nervous system of Lewis rats with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Fibronectin (FN), a large family of plasma and extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoproteins, plays an important role in leukocyte migration. In normal central nervous system (CNS), a fine and delicate mesh of FN is virtually restricted to the basal membrane of cerebral blood vessels and to the glial lim...
