Abstract The adaptive immune system relies on formation of the memory past microbial challenges to accelerate protective responses in event reinfection. This is accomplished part by retention antigen-specific B and T cells within barrier tissues. As healthy central nervous parenchyma virtually devoid cells, meningeal spaces carry out vital function coping with environmental threats during aging. We conducted an extensive molecular functional analysis test hypothesis that meninges brain sense...
Summary Mechanisms governing how immune cells and their derived molecules impact homeostatic brain function are still poorly understood. Here, we elucidate neuronal mechanisms underlying effects of T on synaptic episodic memory. Depletion CD4 led to memory deficits impaired long term potentiation. Severe combined immune-deficient (SCID) mice exhibited amnesia, which was reversible by repopulation with from wild-type but not IL-4-knockout mice. This rescue mediated via IL-4 receptors (IL-4R)...
