Figure 9.
Severe demyelination and axonal degeneration were observed in the RR-EAE, but not in the resistant mice. Frozen cross sections of spinal cords from the RR-EAE (relapse (+)) (A–C) and the resistant (relapse (−)) mice (D–F) were stained with anti-MBP ((A,D), red) and anti-SMI32 ((B,E), green) antibodies. These sections were also stained with DAPI (blue). Merged images are shown (C,F). Images with a high-power magnification of panels are shown in the inset, respectively. Scar bar: 50 μm.
