EAE Model & Neurological Testing:
 
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced using MBP, in adolescent female Lewis rats (Charles River, Montreal, QC) as previously described (Zhu et al., 2012). A total of 66 adolescent female Lewis rats were divided into 3 experimental groups: nave control (NC), active control (AC) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). NC animals (n=6) did not receive any injections. AC animals (n=30) received 2 intraperitoneal injections (I.P.) of pertussis toxin (PT; List Biological Laboratories CN: 180) (0.3 µg in 200 µl of phosphate buffered saline …

EAE Induction:

Mice received 180 ng pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories) intraperitoneally on days 0 and 2. For passive EAE experiments, 2D2 CD4 + T cells were activated and transduced under the Th17 cell polarizing condition with either a control retroviral vector or retrovirus overexpressing the Runx dominant-negative mutant.

Motoneuron labeling:

To relate the topography of RST terminations to motor pools, we retrogradely labeled motoneurons in two adult cats by injecting cholera-toxin B (CTB; List Biological Laboratories; unconjugated, low-salt; reconstituted with sterile purified water to a concentration 1% in 0.01 m sodium phosphate buffer) in two key muscles surgically exposed: extensor carpi radialis (ECR) and biceps brachii. A volume of 25 l was slowly injected into multiple intramuscular locations using a Hamilton syringe. The needle was held within the muscle for several minutes after each injection to avoid leakage. We used a survival time of 7 d to allow retrograde transport of CTB from the muscle to the motoneuron soma.
