nerve sural nerve biopsies from Guillain-Barre syndrome patients. ADAM-17-expressing T cells can be localized primarily within the epi- and perineurium, whereas in control sections from patients with non-inflammatory neuropathies, no axpression can be depected. The enzyme may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory demyelination of the peripheral nervous system Homo sapiens

T-cell primary cellular source of ADAM-17 in inflamed peripheral nervous system (experimental autoimmune neuritis). Not all T lymphocytes within the inflamed peripheral nervous system express ADAM-17. No ADAM-17 expressing cells are found in nerves from control animals Rattus norvegicus
