| Abstract | Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is utilized as an animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS). In both EAE and MS, activated T-lymphocytes specific for self-antigens present in myelin are linked to CNS inflammation and the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to peripheral blood leukocytes and plasma proteins, predominately in myelin rich white matter. One aspect of MS that has received relatively little attention is the finding that certain CNS regions are more likely than others to develop disease in different patient populations. Understanding the factors predisposing specific brain regions to autoimmune attack, or protecting other regions, would provide a better understanding of the disease as a process, and may also offer additional targets for therapeutic development. EAE offers a model to search for these factors and the first step in such a process is to identify the brain regions that are susceptible to EAE. Until recently the spinal cord in rodents has been considered the region most susceptible to EAE, with disease in more rostral regions occurring later and with reduced severity. However a more recent study has shown that the cerebellum of SJL/J mice, like the spinal cord, is especially susceptible to BBB breakdown in EAE. Although many factors known to be involved in BBB formation and breakdown remain to be assessed for their possible role in increasing the susceptibility of the cerebellum, one potentially important factor is the location of venules, which are the most affected vascular elements in inflamed tissue. There is a prevalence of large EAE susceptible venules traveling in the myelin rich white matter tracts in SJL/J mouse cerebellar cortex, indicating that the vascularization of this tissue may contribute to the increased susceptibility to inflammation in response to autoimmune attacks directed against CNS myelin. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
