Analysis of parasite replication in macrophages:

Mutants were rst screened in 96-well plates containing bone marrowderived macrophages. Equal volumes of parasites were transferred from 96-well plates containing HFF cells to 96-well plates containing macrophages. Parasites were allowed to infect macrophages for 4 h and then plates were rinsed with D10 media to remove extracellular parasites. D10 media supplemented with 100 ng/ml LPS (Escherichia coli; List Biologicals, Campbell, CA), and …

Experimental Autoimmune  Encephalomyelitis (EAE) Induction:
 
MOG-dependent EAE was induced in 6- to 8-week old female C57BL/6 mice via
a single peptide dose.  MOG35-55 (Bio-Synthesis, Inc. Lewisville, TX) peptide was
emulsified in complete Freunds adjuvant (CFA) with 4 mg/mL of killed Mycobacterium
tuberculosis, which was subcutaneously (s.c.) injected in 100 µL into the flank of
anesthetized mice on Day 0.  Mice also received 200 ng of pertussis toxin (PT; List
Biological Laboratories, Inc., Campbell, CA) intraperitoneally (i.p.) on Day 0 and Day 2. …

Adoptive transfer of 2D2 T cells and induction of EAE:

… For induction of EAE in RAG-1^/ mice, mice of 8-12 wks of age first received purified 2D2 T cells (1 10⁶/mouse) i.v. Twenty four hours later, 2D2 T-cell recipients were immunized s.c. with 200 jig MOG 35-55 in CFA (containing 400 jig of Mycobacterium tuberculosis) in a total volume of 100 mL. Mice received 100 ng of pertussis toxin (List Biological, Campbell, California, USA) in 200 L PBS in the tail vein immediately after the immunization and again 48 h later. …
