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.

EAE induction and pharmaceutical treatment

To induce EAE disease, C57BL/6 male mice (6–8 weeks) received s.c. injections of complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) containing Mtb (200 μg) and MOG35–55 (100 μg) at 0 days post immunization (dpi). Pertussis toxin (200 ng per mouse) was administered through intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection at 0 and 2 dpi. GA or sGA (1 mg kg−1, 10 mg kg−1, or 100 mg kg−1) were administered through i.p. injection at 2 dpi (one-time-dosing) or 2 and 5 dpi (two-time-dosing) (n = 4 to 8). …
