Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in the Mouse [PDF]

Current Protocols in Immunology, 1996
AbstractThis unit details the materials and methods required for both active induction and adoptive transfer of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the SJL mouse strain using intact proteins or peptides from the two major myelin proteins: proteolipid protein (PLP) and myelin basic protein (MBP).

Silencing miR-150 Ameliorates Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
MiR-150 regulates maturation and differentiation of T cells but how it functions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear. In miR-150 knockout (KO) mice, we examined the effect of miR-150 deletion on disease severity of experimental autoimmune ...

Estrogen treatment decreases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in autoimmune demyelinating disease through estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha). [PDF]

, 2009
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have a crucial function in migration of inflammatory cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Levels of MMP-9 are elevated in multiple sclerosis (MS) and predict the occurrence of new active lesions on magnetic ...

A role for cathepsin Z in neuroinflammation provides mechanistic support for an epigenetic risk factor in multiple sclerosis

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2017
Background Hypomethylation of the cathepsin Z locus has been proposed as an epigenetic risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS). Cathepsin Z is a unique lysosomal cysteine cathepsin expressed primarily by antigen presenting cells.

Localization of near-infrared labeled antibodies to the central nervous system in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Antibodies, including antibodies to the RNA binding protein heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1, have been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, thus it is important to assess their biological activity using animal models ...

Amyloids in Site-Specific Autoimmune Reactions and Inflammatory Responses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Amyloid deposition is a histological hallmark of common human disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes. Although some reports highlight that amyloid fibrils might activate the innate immunity system via pattern recognition ...

Tertiary lymphoid organs in central nervous system autoimmunity [PDF]

, 2016
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS), which results in permanent neuronal damage and substantial disability in patients.

Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in Mice [PDF]

, 2014
Experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE), the animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), has provided significant insight into the mechanisms that initiate and drive autoimmunity. Several central nervous system proteins and peptides have been used to induce disease, in a number of different mouse strains, to model the diverse clinical presentations of ...

Korean Red Ginseng mitigates spinal demyelination in a model of acute multiple sclerosis by downregulating p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways

Journal of Ginseng Research, 2018
Background: The potential therapeutic values of Korean Red Ginseng extract (KRGE) in autoimmune disorders of nervous system have not been fully investigated.
