Encephalomyelitis Accompanied by Myelin Destruction Experimentally Produced in Monkeys
نویسندگان
چکیده
The repeated intramuscular injections of aqueous emulsions and alcohol-ether extracts of sterile normal rabbit brains in some manner produced pathological changes accompanied by myelin destruction in the brains of 7 of 8 monkeys (Macacus rhesus). Eight, control monkeys remained well. Cultures from the involved brains remained sterile, and no transmissible agent was demonstrated by means of intracerebral inoculations of emulsions of bits of the brains into monkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, and white mice.

Electron Microscopic Observations on Allergic Encephalomyelitis in the Rabbit
Allergic encephalomyelitis was produced in rabbits by injection of white matter from bovine brain plus adjuvants. Electron microscopy revealed focal demyelinization in both the spinal roots and cord. The peripheral lesions were characterized by vacuolization of Schwann cytoplasm, destruction of the myelin sheath, and by some appearances suggesting remyelinization. In the cord there was a marked...

Demyelinization was regularly conspicuous in the white matter of the rostral portions of the brains of 6 monkeys sacrificed 14 to 22 months after exposure of the ocular regions to 850 r.e.p. of 14 mev. neutron radiation and it was not present in the brain of a monkey 2 months after radiation under identical conditions; or in those of 5 non-radiated animals serving as controls. In early lesions,...
متن کاملAntibodies to Brain and Their Relation to Demyelinization.
THE occurrence of encephalomyelitis or other neurologic disorders during the Pasteur treatment of rabies has stimulated interest in recent years in the relation of parenteral injections of brain to demyelinization in the nervous system. A short review of the subject is given by Hurst as a preliminary to his own report on an attempt to produce such lesions in rabbits. Hurst (1932) and later Schw...
متن کاملAutoimmunity against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein is dispensable for the initiation although essential for the progression of chronic encephalomyelitis in common marmosets.
To elucidate the pathogenetic significance of myelin/oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-specific autoreactivity in a genetically and immunologically heterogeneous nonhuman primate model of multiple sclerosis, we analyzed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the outbred common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). One sibling each of 5 bone marrow chimeric marmoset twins was immunized wit...
