2.5 Anatomical determination of motoneuron pools

Motoneuron distributions were determined for biceps and ECR muscles using retrograde tracing, as in our previous study [[39]]. Anesthesia was induced as above, and tracer (cholera toxin b-fragment, CTB; 1% in sterile water, 40–45 μl total volume; List Biological, USA) was injected using a microsyringe over a 3 min period. …

Flow cytometry methods

Sample collection, isolation, storage, thawing, stimulation and staining for flow cytometry was performed as detailed previously (Scheible et al., 2012). In short, cord blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated via Ficoll density gradient centrifugation, cryopreserved and stored in liquid nitrogen, and rapidly thawed and washed with pre-warmed RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 1x L-glutamine; thawing was done in ‘subject-balanced’ batches (equal mix of pre and fullterm subjects, each with three time points). An aliquot of each freshly thawed sample was stained with a T-cell phenotyping (Tphe) panel with the remainder of the sample rested overnight in an incubator, and stimulated with 2μg/mL of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterotoxin Type B (SEB); following an initial 2-hour stimulation, samples were blocked using GolgiPlug and GolgiStop (manufacturer’s recommended concentrations), further stimulated for 8 hours and then stained with a T-cell functional panel (ICS). …

Induction of MOG-IgG–Augmented MOG35-55 EAE

Chronic EAE was induced by active subcutaneous (SC) immunization with 100 μg MOG peptide 35–55 (MOG35-55; Charit´e Berlin, Germany) emulsified in complete Freund’s adjuvant under short isoflurane anesthesia. Two hundred nanograms of Pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, CA) were injected intraperitoneally (IP) on 0 and 2 days postimmunization (dpi). The experimenters observedthe animals after this procedure until they detected normal behavior. …
