Figure 8

Graphical representation of cellular and molecular mechanisms of the protective effect of CpG-pre-pDCs against EAE. Upon adoptive transfer of pDC progenitors at d-12, the onset of clinical signs, TGF-β released only by CpG-pre-pDCs in the first 3 days in the spinal cord (light blue zone) of mice protects against EAE by prompting host pDCs to release in turn TGF-β and promoting accumulation of CD11c+CD11b+ cDCs and IL-10+ B cells. CpG-pre-pDCs, once migrated to the spinal cord, additionally release IL-27 that from day-22 onwards, ensures late protection against EAE. BBB blood brain barrier.
