A method for modulating an immune response by activating or inhibiting dopaminergic neurons in the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) is provided. Modulation is achieved by modulating the activity, the abundance or both of: a natural killer cell, a CD8 T-cell, a CD4 T-cell, a B-cell, a dendritic cell, a macrophage, a granulocyte, or their combination.
本研究提供了一种通过激活或抑制腹侧被盖区(VTA)
多巴胺能神经元来调节免疫反应的方法。调节是通过调节自然杀伤细胞、CD8 T 细胞、C
D4 T 细胞、B 细胞、树突状细胞、巨噬细胞、粒细胞或它们的组合的活性、丰度或两者来实现的。
