Neurobehavioral testing and choroid plexus infiltration. BI-BTK-1-treated mice have improved cognitive function as evidenced by significant improvement in the object placement test (a). A trend toward improvement in the object recognition test was present as well (b). Treatment had no effect on depression-like behavior (c) (BI-BTK-1, n = 12; control, n = 12). d MRL/lpr mice demonstrate marked choroid plexus infiltration with lymphocytes and macrophages, as seen here in a section of the fourth ventricle. Treatment with BI-BTK-1 ameliorates this infiltration (e). Representative images are taken at × 10 (b and d) and × 20 (c) and shown from mice in the treated and control groups, and blindly scored using the scale described in “Methods” (f). BI-BTK-1, n = 12; control, n = 8 (**p < 0.01)
