Autoimmunity of the Brain: two tertiary lymph regions

Autoimmune disease in the area of the brain: Autoimmune hypothesis is that two infections on one target trigger autoimmunity but one infection must be an outside infection and the other an inside infection.

Neuromyelitis Optica which has antibodies to aquaporin disrupts the blood brain barrier.

Neuromyelitis has been linked to both mycobacterias and viruses like dengue.

 Consider the two zones of the lymph split in the brain into literally two different regions.

Where the choroid plexus deals with the outer antigens and the blood brain barrier is the inner antigens.



For mycobacteria the main outside pathway involves Eosinophils.  So the IgG4 is created to stop the eosinophils.
