From: Role of meningeal immunity in brain function and protection against pathogens
Schematic view of meningeal immune cells and their role in infection. In an infectious context, the meningeal immune response is important to fight pathogens and keep them from invading the brain. The arrow indicates the cellular target of the molecules/virus. Lines originating from immune cells and their thickness represent the strength of the defense provided by the immune cells. S. agalactiae: Streptococcus agalactiae; LCMV: lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus; T. brucei: Trypanosoma brucei; C. albicans: Candida albicans; CGRP: calcitonin gene-related peptide; RAMP1: Receptor Activity Modifying Protein 1, IFNAR: interferon type 1 receptor; IgA: immunoglobulin A
