Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by communication difficulties and restricted interests that is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, yet effective treatments remain unavailable. This study aims to analyze immune cells in the peripheral blood and brain of ASD model mice to elucidate the role of immune cells in the development of ASD, with the goal of contributing to the development of novel treatments through immune system modulation.
