Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of treating neurodegenerative diseases, including administering agents that block dendritic cells from entering the brain from the blood. The present further describes methods for detecting the selective migration of dendritic cells from blood into brain as a marker of human neurodegenerative disease. The present disclosure further describes methods that can be used to evaluate and compare different embodiments of methods detecting migration of dendritic cells using transgenic mice that overexpress various mutations associated with induction of distinct neurodegenerative disease pathologies.
