Abstract:ObjectiveMultiple sclerosis is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder associated with blood-brain-barrier breakdown, where myelin repair is reduced and ultimately fails. Our aim was to investigate the effect of a systemically circulating molecule fibrinogen, which is abnormally present in the central nervous system as a result of blood-brain barrier breakdown on human oligodendrocyte lineage cells.MethodsIn situ immunofluorescence was performed using anti-fibrinogen and anti-SOX10 antibodies. Mature oligodendr… Show more
