| Research Abstract |
During virus infection, brain glial cells act as a source of chemokines, which facilitate the recruitment peripheral leukocytes into the central nervous system and orchestrate immune response against the infectious agent. In this study, spatial and temporal patterns of chemokine production were examined in the brains of virus-infected mouse. The results indicate that virus infection induces the expression of specific chemokines in the mouse brain.
