Furthermore, the presence of TMEM119+ and partly P2RY12+ microglia in pre-active lesions as well as in  the rim of active white and grey matter lesions, in addition to TMEM119+ and P2RY12+ rod-like microglia in subpial grey matter lesions suggest that blocking the entrance of lymphocytes into the CNS of MS patients may not interfere with all possible effects of TMEM119+ and P2RY12+ microglia in both white and grey matter MS lesions. This evidence concerns the gene P2RY12 and myeloid sarcoma.
