Increased calpain expression in activated glial and inflammatory cells in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis

Neuroinvasion by ovine lentivirus in infected sheep mediated by inflammatory cells associated with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

Maedi Visna Virus (MVV) is a prototypic lentivirus that causes infection only in cells of macrophage lineage, unlike the primate lentiviruses which infect both CD4+ T lymphocytes and macrophages. In primates, the earliest viral invasion is associated with the ability of the virus to infect and activate T cells which convey virus to the brain. Infected monocytes in blood rarely cause CNS infecti...

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.

PD-L1 is increased in the spinal cord and infiltrating lymphocytes in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis is a mouse model of human multiple sclerosis with similar pathology and pathogenesis. Th1 cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. This study determined the potential effect of programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 in the pathogenesis of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis induced by injecting myelin olig...
