GMG-ITC treatment modulates innate and acquired immune response. In brain sections, TLR-4 detection reveals immunopositivity in untreated SOD1tg rats (a), while SOD1tg rats treated with GMG-ITC show negative staining for TLR4 (b). In untreated SOD1tg rats the immunopositivity of brain sections to CD8 antibody identified wide areas with infiltrating cells (c). GMG-ITC treatment reveals the capability to counteract the release of cytotoxic T cells at level of brain sections (d).
