Abstract
In studying a model inflammatory lesion in the nervous system, such as that of EAE (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis), or a naturally occurring lesion in man, such as the plaque of MS (multiple sclerosis), we attempt to establish the presence and significance of one or more standard immunopathologic mechanisms (Boese, ed., 1980; Waksman, 1981). These were first distinguished over a half century ago, but the detailed cellular and molecular events underlying each are still in the process of elucidation.
