Induction, treatment and clinical evaluation of EAE:

6-8 weeks old female mice with C57BL/6 background purchased from The Janvier Laboratory were used for the experiments. Animals were 6 weeks old and weighed between 19 and 23 µg. Each mouse was immunized subcutaneously (s.c.) at day 0 with 200 µg MOG35-55 peptide and 800 µg MTB H37RA dissolved in 100 µl PBS and 100 µl CFA. Emulsion was sonificated with a Bandelin Sonopuls at 50 % interval and 50 % power for 3 minutes. Additionally, 400 ng of PTX was applied intraperitoneally (i.p.) at day 0 and day 2. Omnifix-F syringes were used for all injections. …
