Advances in the Immunopathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis

This volume highlights recent advances in the basic mechanisms of the immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. Written by scientists active ly involved in leading research, it mainly focuses on aspects of autor eactive T cell activation. Progress in the field of blood-brain barrie r damage pathophysiology, antigen presentation in the central nervous system and magnetic resonance imaging are also reported. Providing a r apid access to up-to-date, leading research on basic pathogenetic mech anisms of multiple sclerosis, this book is directed not only to neuroi mmunologists, but also to a general neurological readership.
