Encephalitogenic Factor in Experimental ‘Allergic’ Encephalomyelitis

Suppression of Experimental "allergic" Encephalomyelitis in Guinea Pigs by Encephalitogenic Proteins Extracted from Homologous Brain

The intradermal injection of aqueous solutions of certain homologous neural proteins will suppress the encephalomyelitis which is induced in guinea pigs by the previous injection of whole homologous brain with Freund's adjuvants. These neural proteins extracted by dilute acid from defatted guinea pig brain are themselves highly encephalitogenic when injected with adjuvants, but the specificity ...

The generation of encephalitogenic T cell lines from experimental allergic encephalomyelitis-resistant strains of mice.

While only a few strains of mice are susceptible to the primary induction or passive transfer of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), the basis of EAE resistance remains unclear. In the present studies, we have defined two approaches that allow for the generation of encephalitogenic, myelin basic protein-reactive, T cell lines from EAE-resistant strains of mice. The first approach, ba...

Metabolomics approaches in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

A myelin basic protein (MBP)-induced experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) involves paraplegia due to a reversible thoracolumbar spinal cord impairment. The aims of this study were thus to find significant metabolic biomarkers of inflammation and identify the site of inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS) during the acute signs in of the disease using metabolomics. All the EAE...

Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis in Oxygen Immunosuppression : Modification

Myelin-binding antibodies in experimental "allergic" encephalomyelitis.

Antibodies with a specificity for myelin, as demonstrated by immunofluorescence, are present in the sera of rabbits injected with spinal cord. These antibodies react with both adult rabbit and human spinal cord but not with unmyelinated areas of neonatal human spinal cord.
