Cerebral ischemia is ensued by a cellular immune depression syndrome. The postischemic functional capacity of T lymphocytes is controversial, and interactions between leukocyte subsets are largely unknown. Understanding the immunologic interplay between antigen-presenting cells and lymphocytes as well as between distinct lymphocyte subsets after stroke might be of clinical/therapeutic significance because animal data argue for a cerebroprotective effect of, for example, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells.
