growth/size/body
weight loss
(
J:137838
)
• 4 weeks after receiving transfer of HA-specific effector CD8 T cells, mice exhibit weight loss
|
behavior/neurological
• 4 weeks after receiving transfer of HA-specific effector CD8 T cells, severely affected animals display difficulty to right themselves when overturned
|
• 4 weeks after receiving transfer of HA-specific effector CD8 T cells (Tc1 cells), severely affected animals exhibit tremors
|
• 4 weeks after receiving transfer of HA-specific effector CD8 T cells, severely affected animals show reduced mobility
|
nervous system
• inflammation is also observed frequently in cerebellum, fornix and periventricular areas
|
• by 5 days following transfer of Tc1 cells, all mutants examined show spinal cord inflammation
• T cell infiltration into spinal cord starts on day 5 after transfer and peaks at day 28
|
• by 5 days following transfer of Tc1 cells, all mutants examined show optic nerve inflammation
|
• apoptosis in optic nerve and spinal cord is seen at early time points following Tc1 transfer
|
• focal areas with reduced myelin density and thin myelin sheaths are observed in animals after transfer of Tc1 cells
• vacuolization is seen at day 5 after Tc1 cell transfer
|
• by 5 days following transfer of Tc1 cells, demyelination is observed in the spinal cord and optic nerve
• from 9 days post-transfer, most mutants exhibit extensive demyelination in optic nerves
• by day 19, actively demyelinating lesions show severe axonal damage
|
vision/eye
• focal areas with reduced myelin density and thin myelin sheaths are observed in animals after transfer of Tc1 cells
• vacuolization is seen at day 5 after Tc1 cell transfer
|
immune system
• inflammation is also observed frequently in cerebellum, fornix and periventricular areas
|
• by 5 days following transfer of Tc1 cells, all mutants examined show spinal cord inflammation
• T cell infiltration into spinal cord starts on day 5 after transfer and peaks at day 28
|
• by 5 days following transfer of Tc1 cells, all mutants examined show optic nerve inflammation
