EAE Induction

EAE induction was based on a published protocol [24]. Murine myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) 35–55 peptide (MOG35–55, MEVGWYRSPFSRVVHLYRNGK) was synthesized with >99% purity (SciLight Biotechnology, China). C57BL/6 mice were injected with 200 μg MOG35–55 emulsified in 100 μg of complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA, Sigma) and an additional 400 μg Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RA (BD Biosciences) by subcutaneous injection into the flanks. These mice were also given 400 ng pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories) in 100 μl phosphate buffered saline (PBS) on the same day and 2 days later by intraperitoneal injection.
