Induction and clinical scoring of EAE

Direct immunization against MOG35–55 in C57Bl/6J and TCR2D2 mice
Animals were immunized subcutaneously with 100 μg of MOG35–55 peptide (Genemed Synthesis, San Antonio, TX, USA) in complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) containing 400 μg Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt) H37Ra (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA). Mice received 200 ng PT (List Biological, Campbell, CA, USA) by i.p. injection at the time of and 48 h post-immunization. Control mice were sham-immunized with phosphate-buffered saline in CFA and received the same PT dosage.

Direct immunization against PLP139–151 in SJL/J mice
SJL/J mice were injected with 100 μg PLP139–151 in 400 μg CFA subcutaneous and 2 × 50 ng PT i.p. on days 0 and 2. Control mice were sham-immunized with phosphate buffer saline in CFA and received the same PT dosage.
