This is supported by activation of JHMV-specific T cells within the CLN [34] and detection of myelin antigens in MS patients and rodents with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) [35] [36] [37] , as well as following demyelination induced by oligodendrocyte death [38] . To determine whether CNSinfiltrating myeloid cells, comprising macrophages and dendritic cells, and/or microglia are capable of processing and presenting self-Ag within the CNS following infection, both potential APC populations were purified based on differential CD45 expression [44, 45] at distinct times p.i. and tested for the ability to support SR T cell activation in the absence of exogenously added Ag.
