  ABSTRACT: The present study describes apoptosis of T cells in the sciatic nerve in Wistar rats with experimental autoimmune neuritis(EAN). Morphological characterizations of apoptosis were found at the 18th day from onset, peaked at the 22nd day by immunocytochemical analysis. In situ end labeling(ISEL) techniques confirmed the presence of DNA fragmentation in CD4(+) T cells. It is suggested that apoptosis is an important clearance mechanism of infiltrated T cells in the peripheral nervous system(PNS) in EAN.

  ABSTRACT: Using cytological examination, the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) of 98 patients with acute viral encephalitis was investigated. We found 81.4% activated lymphocytes and 5.8% plasma cells in CSF in the first week. In addition, various lymphoid features were disclosed in association: mitosis, binucleation, abnormal nuclear lobulation, Russell bodies, and morula in plasma cells. These cellular changes specifically existed in CSF of acute viral encephalitis, which were helpful to distinguish the said disease from tuberculous melitis and multiple sclerosis.
