Induction and treatment of EAE:

EAE was induced in age-matched female mice with 300L of 300µg MOG emulsified in CFA containing 8mg/mL killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis via subcutaneous injection on day 0 and day 7, followed by the i.p. injection of 250ng pertussis toxin (list biological laboratories) on day 0, day 2, day 7, day 9¹³. Clinical scores (0, no symptoms; 1, limp tail; 2, partial paralysis of hind limbs; 3, complete paralysis of hind limbs or partial hind and front limb paralysis; 4, tetraparalysis; 5, moribund) were recorded daily. The mean score was noted for each mouse every day. …

Protocols in mice:

Six week-old female BALB/c mice (Charles River Laboratories, Saint Germain sur Arbresle, Rhne, France) were distributed in 5 groups (5 per group). Three groups were sensitized to EW by the intragastric administration of 5mg of EW on a protein basis and 10g of cholera toxin (CT, List Biologicals, Campbell, CA, USA), during 3 successive days on the first week and once per week for the subsequent 5weeks (Li et al., 2000). Sham-sensitized mice received CT and nave mice just received PBS. …

Endotoxin:

All endotoxin lots were derived from an E. coli Type O113:H10:K-negative strain of bacteria. Endotoxin was stored at the investigational site in a dedicated fridge at 28C, and reconstituted prior to administration, both according to the manufacturers instructions. The temperature of the fridge was constantly monitored and logged using an automated system. Lot #1188844 was derived from bulk material produced by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and FDA in 1967 and vialled in 2006 under GMP conditions by the Pharmaceutical Development Section of the NIH (Bethesda, MD, USA). The lots #94332B1 and #94332B4 were both derived from the same new GMP-grade bulk material and vialled under GMP conditions by List Biological Laboratories, Inc (Campbell, California, USA). This GMP-grade endotoxin has previously shown to be safe for administration in humans.

MOG Peptide-EAE Induction:

After 4 weeks on their experimental diets, EAE was inducedin mice (12-week-old) by trained MBP technicians. EAE wasinduced by subcutaneousflank administration of emulsifiedmyelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide 3555 (MOGpeptide; New England Peptide, Gardner, MA, USA) in com-plete Freunds adjuvant containing 5 mg/mL killedMycobac-terium tuberculosis(Becton Dickinson Difco, Franklin Lakes,NJ, USA) on Day 0 followed by the intraperitoneal administra-tion of 200 ng pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories,Inc., Campbell, CA, USA) on Days 0 and 2 to produce fea-tures seen in MS, such as axonal vacuolization and fragmenta-tion and spinal cord atrophy (Soulika et al., 2009). …
