Immune-mediated animal models of Tourette syndrome.
An autoimmune diathesis has been proposed in Tourette syndrome (TS) and related neuropsychiatric disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism and anorexia nervosa. Environmental triggers including infection and xenobiotics are hypothesized to lead to the production of brain-directed autoantibodies in a subset of genetically susceptible indivi...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Tourette Syndrome—From Proliferation to Standardization
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a childhood onset disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics and associated with multiple comorbid symptoms. Over the last decade, the accumulation of findings from TS patients and the emergence of new technologies have led to the development of novel animal models with high construct validity. In addition, animal models which were previously associated with other ...
متن کاملImmune Dysfunction in Tourette Syndrome
The association between immunity and neurodevelopmental disorders has been extensively investigated in autism, suggesting a potential involvement of both cellular and humoral immunity in the establishment of synaptic connectivity modulation during development. A similar link has been proposed also for Tourette syndrome (TS), a complex, multifactorial disorder, in which the interplay between gen...
متن کاملAnimal models of autoimmune and immune-mediated uveitis
Uveitis of putative autoimmune origin comprises a heterogeneous group of sight-threatening diseases prevalent in the US and worldwide. Several animal models, representing various forms of uveitis, have been developed. These models reproduce distinct aspects of human disease and can serve to study basic mechanisms and as templates for therapy. ‘Humanized’ models have recently become available th...
متن کاملThe role of immune mechanisms in Tourette syndrome.
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a childhood-onset tic disorder associated with abnormal development of brain networks involved in the sensory and motor processing. An involvement of immune mechanisms in its pathophysiology has been proposed. Animal models based on active immunization with bacterial or viral mimics, direct injection of cytokines or patients' serum anti-neuronal antibodies, and transge...
