T-cells in human encephalitis 2005 .txt text/plain 5419 259 38 In this review, we attempt to summarize the existing knowledge on T-cell effects and-if availablepotential ways of its therapeutic modification in Rasmussen encephalitis (RE), paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis (PEM), and virus encephalitides. This assumption is based on the neuropathological findings of elements of a cytotoxic T-cell attack within the brains of affected people (Bernal et al., 2002) but also on some other observations regarding anti-Yo, anti-Hu, and anti-Ma syndromes and their respective antigens, cerebellar degenerationrelated protein 2 (cdr2), HuD, and PNMA1. The most prominent evidence for a pathogenetically relevant contribution of T-cells to PEM comes from studies on patients with anti-Yo positive paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. study on TCR Vβ families of T-lymphocytes within the brains of anti-Hu positive patients (autopsy specimens) providing evidence for an oligoclonal expansion of CD8 + T-cells are concordant with this concept (Voltz et al., 1998) .
