Preface Neurodegenerative disorders, a collection of more than 100 different diseases, are pathologies of the central nervous system (CNS). They are in general defined as progressive dysfunctions of the CNS, often associated with an advanced age and can be sporadic as well as hereditary (Przedborski et al., 2003). Examples, and most known diseases, are multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson s disease (PD), Alzheimer s disease (AD), Huntington s disease (HD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The degeneration of neurons in the brain and spinal cord is considered the main consequence of these pathologies. While these neurons have been and are still studied intensively, the focus has included the role of the immune system in these pathologies. The immune system is not a separate organ to just protect us from infectious diseases or germs, it is a much more complex system very intertwined with all the processes in our body. Therefore, a derailed immune system might lead to allergies and propagations of disorders, and in severe conditions to auto immune diseases. In this thesis, the role of the CNS resident immune cells and myeloid infiltrates from the periphery, originating in the bone marrow, are studied in the context of MS. 9
