Induction and evaluation of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE):

EAE was induced with an adaptation of the method of Bettelli et al. [21]. Eight to 16 weeks old Mst1^/ and Mst1^+/+ littermates were immunized subcutaneously with a total of 300 µg MOGp3555 emulsified in CFA containing 250 µg heat-inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (BD Biosciences). Immediately following the injection of the emulsified Ag (day 0), each mouse received one intravenous injection of 500 ng of Pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, CA). Disease severity was scored on a scale of 0 to 8 as previously described [22]. …
