Abstract

In vivo reactivation of myelin-reactive T cells requires conventional DCs but not other brain-resident antigen-presenting cells.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • MHC-II expression on CNS-resident microglia/macrophages is dispensable for T cell priming and EAE pathogenesis.

    “Recently however, a series of studies utilizing different transgenic approaches elegantly showed that MHC-II expression on CNS-resident microglia/macrophages is dispensable for T cell priming and EAE pathogenesis [125, 174, 236, 351].”
  • In vitro studies demonstrated that moDC are less capable of presenting myelin compared to cDC, and are therefore redundant in activating autoreactive T cells.

    “However, the critical antigen-presenting role of moDC in EAE pathogenesis has been challenged by in vitro studies demonstrating that moDC are less capable of presenting myelin compared to cDC, and are therefore redundant in activating autoreactive T cells [125, 236].”
  • CNS-infiltrating myeloid cells showed prolonged interactions with T cells in the CNS and their expression of MHC-II was essential for EAE development.

    “It was recently demonstrated that, in contrast to the resident population, CNS-infiltrating myeloid cells showed prolonged interactions with T cells in the CNS and that their expression of MHC-II was essential for EAE development [174, 236].”
  • The aforementioned studies implicated cDC2 type of APC in the initiation of EAE.

    “Instead, although this topic remains debated, the aforementioned studies implicated cDC2 type of APC in the initiation of EAE.”
  • Definitive evidence of a non-redundant role for monocyte-derived APC in activating autoreactive T cells is lacking.

    “As both peripherally-derived and CNS-resident myeloid cells have been implicated in antigen presentation to autoreactive T cells, definitive evidence of a non-redundant role for monocyte-derived APC in activating autoreactive T cells is lacking.”

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.
