Methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of seizures and epilepsy. It is shown herein that leukocyte recruitment plays a key role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. Treatment with an agent that inhibits leukocyte recruitment has therapeutic and preventative effects in blocking recurrent seizures and epilepsy.

摘要:
The involvement of an expression product in a cell in a pathway is determined by genetically modifying the cell, incubating the cell with predetermined factors in induce a physiological state and measuring parameters affected by the pathway. Changes in the levels of the parameters as a result of the presence of the expressed product indicate that the expression product is involved with the pathway.

A method of screening biologically active agent based on the analysis of complex biological responses in culture. Methods for selecting cells and culture conditions for such screens are provided, as well as the identification of an optimized set of discrete parameters to be measured, and the use of biomap analysis for rapid identification and characterization of drug candidates, genetic sequences acting pathways, and the like. A feature of the invention is simultaneous screening of a large number of cellular pathways, and the rapid identification of compounds that cause cellular responses.

Tolerogenic populations of dendritic cells are provided, where the dendritic cells are characterized by expression of select tissue-specific homing receptors including the chemokine receptors CCR9; or CMKLR1; or the integrin CD103. The dendritic cells may be conventional/myeloid or plasmacytoid dendritic cells. The cells may be isolated from lymphoid tissue, from blood, or from in vitro culture, e.g. bone marrow culture, etc. Methods are provided for their identification, isolation and targeting in immunotherapeutic interventions in suppressing inflammatory disorders including autoimmunity, transplantation responses and allergic diseases. In some embodiments dendritic cell populations are fixed to render them immunosuppressive, thus allowing the cells to be typed and banked for future use.
