EAE Induction and Tissue Collection:

Female C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks old) were induced with EAE by immunization with 125 µg of MOG₃₅₅₅ peptide…Mice received two intravenous (i.v.) injections of 300 ng Bordetella pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories Inc., Campbell, CA) the day of immunization. An identical pertussis toxin injection was repeated 3 days later.

… SEB signals or IL-17A-positive cells were counted per mm of basement membrane under high-powered field (HPF, 400) at three different sites in the tissue. Reagents and cell culture. SEB was obtained from List Biological Laboratories INC. (Campbell, CA, USA). …

Neuronal tracing:

For tracer injections into the sciatic nerve to evaluate nerve regeneration, rats were anesthetized at 5 weeks post-spinal nerve injury with 4% isofluorane and the sciatic nerves at mid-thigh region ipsilateral to spinal nerve injury were exposed under aseptic conditions. A 5 l solution of 0.5% CTB (Cholera Toxin B subunit, low salt; List Labs)…were injected into the sciatic nerve at 35 sites using a Hamilton syringe.

Immunohistochemistry:

Frozen sliced sections of DRG (10 m) and spinal nerve (10 m) were serially mounted. Selected sections (at least 120 m apart from each other if from the same DRG) were incubated with primary reagents 24 h at 4 C, and with the secondary antibody for 2 hrs at room temperature. Primary antisera were: polyclonal goat anti-CTB IgG (1:5,000; List, CA),…

4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-HT), tamoxifen and DTX injections:

DTX injections were performed as previously described… 40 ng/g of DTX (List Laboratories) was delivered by i.p. injections to mice at P21. Two treatments, separated by 72 hr, were given. Animals (mice) were sacrificed 2 to 3 weeks after the first injection.

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induction:

Mice used in each experiment were 8-12-wk-old female littermates. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced by s.c. injection of mice (ve per group) with 100 mg myelin oligodendrocyte protein (MOG) peptides emulsied in CFA (Chondrex). Mice were also injected i.p. with 200 mg pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories) on days 0, 1, and 2.

Animals and Surgery:

Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 9, 250430 g; Taconic Farms, Germantown, NY) were utilized for these experiments and all protocols were in accordance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Oregon Health & Science University. Vagal afferents were identified using anterograde tracing following injection of Cholera Toxin B Subunit (CTb; 1 2 l; 1% in dH₂O; List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, CA)…
