TLDR
Findings indicate that CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, but not B lymphocyte, contribute to the inflammatory and thrombogenic responses, brain injury, and neurological deficit associated with experimental stroke.Abstract:
Background— Although lymphocyte recruitment and activation are associated with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, the contributions of specific lymphocyte subpopulations and lymphocyte-derived interferon-γ (IFN-γ) to stroke remain unknown. The objectives of this study were to define the contribution of specific populations of lymphocytes to the inflammatory and prothrombogenic responses elicited in the cerebral microvasculature by I/R and to investigate the role of T-cell–associated IFN-γ in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Methods and Results— Middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced for 1 hour (followed by 4 or 24 hours of reperfusion) in wild-type mice and mice deficient in lymphocytes (Rag1−/−), CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, or IFN-γ. Platelet and leukocyte adhesion was assessed in cortical venules with intravital video microscopy. Neurological deficit and infarct volume were determined 24 hours after reperfusion. Rag1−/−, CD4+ T-cell−/−, CD8+ T-cell−/−, and IFN-γ−/− mice exhib...read more

TL;DR: Treg cells are major cerebroprotective modulators of postischemic inflammatory brain damage targeting multiple inflammatory pathways, and IL-10 signaling is essential for their immunomodulatory effect.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a catecholamine-mediated defect in early lymphocyte activation is the key factor in the impaired antibacterial immune response after stroke.

Effect of brain edema on infarct volume in a focal cerebral ischemia model in rats.
TL;DR: Traditional direct measurement of infarct volume is associated with an overestimation of infArct volume during the development of brain edema in the first 3 days after ischemia, which can be reduced with indirect measurement, which is based on noninfarcted cortex volume.
