Popis: Cerebral contusion causes neurological dysfunction mediated in part by inflammatory responses to injury. B lymphocytes are dynamic regulators of the immune system that have not been systematically studied in traumatic brain injury (TBI). We showed previously that topically applied mature B cells have immunomodulatory properties and strongly promote tissue regeneration, including cutaneous nerve growth, in acute and chronic skin wounds. Using a mouse controlled cortical impact (CCI) model, we assessed a possible beneficial role of exogenously applied B cells on histopathological and functional outcome after TBI. Mice were injected intraparenchymally at the lesion site with 2 × 10
