Basic principles of immunological surveillance of the normal central nervous system
Abstract
Unlike most bodily organs, the central nervous system (CNS) exists behind a blood–tissue barrier designed to minimize the passage of cells and macromolecules into the neural parenchyma. Yet, the CNS is routinely and effectively surveyed by the immune system. This review examines the mechanisms and participants in this immunological surveillance mechanism. The nature of the healthy blood–brain barrier, factors modifying it, and its central position in determining the number and nature of leukocytes permitted to enter, are considered. In addition the role in surveillance played by lymphatic drainage, migrating T and B lymphocytes, and elements of the monocyte/macrophage/microglia family are considered. While all these participants are known to be important in responding to a CNS antigen and/or establishing a site of inflammation in the nervous system, they also are major elements in maintaining the homeostasis of the CNS and permitting the necessary immunological surveillance of that organ.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
