CD4+NKG2D+ T cells exhibit enhanced migratory and encephalitogenic properties in neuroinflammation.

Migration of encephalitogenic CD4(+) T lymphocytes across the blood-brain barrier is an essential step in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). We here demonstrate that expression of the co-stimulatory receptor NKG2D defines a subpopulation of CD4(+) T cells with elevated levels of markers fo...
