Sialoadhesin deficiency ameliorates myelin degeneration and axonopathic changes in the CNS of PLP overexpressing mice

PLP overexpressing mice display demyelination and axonopathic changes, accompanied by an elevation of CD8+ T-lymphocytes and CD11b+ macrophages in the CNS. By crossbreeding these mutants with RAG-1-deficient mice lacking mature lymphocytes, we could recently demonstrate a pathogenetic impact of the...
