• Product #180 – Pertussis Toxin from B. pertussis, Lyophilized in Buffer

… To induce EAE, adult female mice were injected subcutaneously in the flank/tail base with 200 µg MOG 3555 peptide emulsified in complete Freunds adjuvant (BD Biosciences) supplemented with 600µg Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain H37Ra; BD Biosciences). Two i.p. injections of 400 ng pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories) were given 0 and 48 hours later. Clinical scores (0, healthy; 1, flaccid tail; 2, ataxia and/or paresis of hind limbs; 3, paralysis of hind limbs and/or paresis of forelimbs; 4, tetraparalysis; 5, moribund or death) were recorded daily …

• Product #150 – Diphtheria Toxin, Unnicked, from Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Drugs:

The following compounds were used in the reported studies: CL 316,241 (in saline; from Tocris); C75 (RPMI medium 1640; from Tocris);67,68 capsaicin (3.3% Tween-80 in saline; from Sigma)14, CNO (in saline; from Enzo Life Science)14, and diphtheria toxin (in saline; List Biological, cat. no. 150). All drugs were injected in a volume of 10 ml kg1 of body weight i.p. except for diphtheria toxin, which was injected at the dose of 50 g kg1 and the volume was 2.66 l g1 of body weight. When multiple injections were performed in the same experiment, the volume of each injection was adjusted to a total volume of 10 ml kg1 per animal.
