Recent evidence suggests that T-lymphocyte extravasation and CNS-parenchymal infiltration during autoimmune disease might be regulated by antigen-presenting (ED2(+)) cerebral/spinal perivascular phagocytes (CPP/SPP). Since the massive erythrocytic and leukocytic infiltrates in the CNS of rats with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis do not allow a precise differentiation between CPP/SPP and the invading cells in the Virchow-Robin space, we developed a new immune-response model whereby the extravasation of T-lymphocytes was not followed by other blood cells. Adult Lewis rats were sensitized to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Subsequent intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injections of HRP and/or Fluoro-Emerald (FE) served to: (1) challenge the primed T-lymphocytes and (2) label the CPP/SPP for additional immunocytochemical analysis. We found that 24 h and 3 days after single, double, or triple antigen boosting T-lymphocytes (R73(+), W3/25(+), OX50(+)) entered the Virchow-Robin space but did not break through the astrocytic glia limitans. Instead they adhered to HRP-containing activated CPP/SPP (mabs OX-6(+), SILK6(+), CD40(+), CD80(+), CD86(+)). This selective contact was mediated neither by cell adhesion molecules (P-selectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1), nor promoted by chemokine receptors (CCR1, CCR5) or chemokines (monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, RANTES). This non-inflammatory, but antigen-dependent lymphocyte extravasation provides optimal conditions to further study the CNS immune response.
