The onset of neurological signs in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is tightly associated with infiltration and reactivation of T cells in the CNS. The anatomical localization of the initial T cell-APC interactions leading to reactivation of T cells in the CNS is, however, still unclear. We hypothesized that activated CD4+ T cells gain direct access to the subarachnoid space and become reactivated upon encounter with cognate antigen in this compartment. C57Bl/6 mice were immunized with MOG35-55 and interactions between CD4+ T cells and MHC class II+ APCs in the subarachnoid space were investigated using flow cytometry, confocal microscopy of leptomeningeal whole-mount preparations, time-lapse microscopy of leptomeningeal explants, and in vitro proliferation assays. CD4+ T cells, polarized to produce Th1/Th17 cytokines, accumulated in the subarachnoid space early during the course of EAE, before CD4+ T cells were detected in the spinal cord parenchyma. At this time point, leptomeningeal, but not parenchymal CD4+ T cells incorporated BrdU, indicating local proliferation of CD4+ T cells in the subarachnoid space. Time lapse microscopy indicated that these CD4+ T cells actively scanned the tissue and interacted with local MHC class II positive APCs, resulting in long-lasting interactions between CD4+ T cells and MHC class II positive APCs, suggestive of immunological synapses. These results support the concept that immune surveillance of the CNS involves the subarachnoid space and indicate that the leptomeninges play an important role in EAE initiation.
