Abstract

The immune response can contribute to the risk of stroke as well as to brain injury following stroke. Directed modulation of the immune response to attenuate risk or injury is thus a potential therapeutic strategy for treating stroke. Inducing a population of antigen-specific regulatory T cells is one such strategy and can be used to locally modulate the immune response to the organs in which the antigen is present, thereby limiting potential side effects. This chapter addresses the use of mucosal tolerance to both prevent and treat ischemic stroke.
