Cuprizone causes demyelination and oligodendrocyte death in mice. Cuprizone lesions resemble a particular form of white-matter lesions that is seen in multiple sclerosis. This study reports that infiltrating neutrophils expressing the chemokine receptor CXCR2 contribute to oligodendrocyte death in the cuprizone model of demyelination.
