Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is among the neurological diseases with higher mundial incidence (30 cases/100,000 inhabitants). MS cause demyelination areas and axonal damage in the Central Nervous System (CNS) due to autoimmune response developed by Th1, Th17 and Tc lymphocytes. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) it is the main model to study. The involvement of mast cells in MS/EA…

Abstract
The pattern-recognition receptors of innate immunity are important in the defense against pathogens by recognizing conserved structures of microorganisms and triggering signaling pathways, such as nuclear factor-ºB (NF-ºB). This pathway may be triggered by the binding of the toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and dectin-1 receptor to their ligands, such as phospholipomannan and ²-glucans present…
