Abstract

The experimental auto-immune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and experimental auto-immune neuritis are experimental models of autoimmune T cells mediated diseases, since these diseases can be adoptively transferred to naive animals by T CD4 lymphocytes transfer. The effector function of these lymphocytes, however, can be decreased by regulatory T lymphocytes. On the other hand, the auto-reactive T lymphocytes as well as the regulatory T lymphocytes are identified within the T CD4 lymphocytes population. Therefore, the labeling of effectors T lymphocytes opens up a possibility of understanding the migration of these lymphocytes to the nervous system (central or peripheral), as well as the interaction between the auto-reactive and regulatory cells that co-migrate to attenuate the inflammation on the nervous system. In this study, we will use the GFP retroviral transduction technique in auto-reactive T lymphocytes. This method allows a permanent labeling, allowing in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo analysis of auto-reactive T lymphocytes, by cytometry flow and/or confocal microscopy. Still, this technique allows the specific genes linked or not to GFP, serving as a tool for genetic introduction (knock in) in a determined cellular population. Besides that, this method of labeling will allow us the track of the auto-reactive T CD4 lymphocytes during its migration and the expression of cytotoxic as granzyme and perforin by these cells during the evolution of EAE and EAN.
