Adoptive transfer of T lymphocytes in immunodeficient mice influences epileptogenesis and neurodegeneration in a model of temporal lobe epilepsy

Intra-hippocampal injection of kainic acid (KA) in adult mice causes a focal lesion in the CA1 area and hilus of the dentate gyrus, as well as pronounced granule cell hypertrophy and dispersion.
