摘要

The implication of CD8 T cells in infectious and inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system has received increasing attention. CD8 T cells are crucial players of the adaptive immune system against neurotropic infections, but can also trigger tissue damage. Here we review the molecular mechanisms used by CD8 T cells to migrate into the central nervous system, and describe diseases that imply CD8 T cell-mediated pathogenicity. We also suggest therapeutic strategies targeting this population.
