title: Chronic inflammatory diseases of the nervous system.
abstract: In many neurologic diseases, activated leukocytes enter the nervous system and initiate a chronic inflammatory process. Understanding how the cellular and humoral responses are associated with pathogenesis is essential for the formulation of a unifying model of central and peripheral nervous system inflammation. Based on such a model, immunotherapeutic strategies and protocols can be designed.
