Gene expression profiling of CD4+myelin basic protein specific T cells

CNS autoimmunity is induced by autoreactive T cells reactive against CNS antigen. However how these T cells become able to transgress the blood brain barrier is not CNS autoimmunity is induced by autoreactive T cells reactive against CNS antigen. Here a gene expression profile of the pathogenic T cells in different functional states was performed.
