Carrageenan, an extract from a red seaweed; EAE, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis; Fucoidin, a nonspecific selectin inhibitor; Ladarixin, a CXCR1/2 antagonist; 5-LOX, 5-lipoxygenase, which produces leukotriene B4; MOG, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein; MPO, myeloperoxidase; ND, not determined; PMN, although PMN refers to all granulocytes, it is used here to refer specifically to neutrophils; Reparixin and DF2162, both CXCR1/2 inhibitors; ST2, suppression of tumorigenicity/IL-33 receptor.
