The Dialect of Immune System in the CNS: The Nervous Tissue as an Immune Compartment for T Cells and Dendritic Cells

There is a growing body of evidence shedding light on the mechanism of immune regulation in the central nervous system (CNS). There are multiple elements that contribute to the special anti-inflammatory environment in this tissue. Unique physiological and
