Susceptibility to EAE induction without CFA in DA rats depends on the origin of encephalitogen^a

Spinal cord	Incidenceb (%)	Onsetc	Maximal scored
Rat	19/24 (79)	11·4 ± 3·5	2·3 ± 0·9
Guinea pig	3/30* (10)	13·0 ± 10·4	1·3 ± 0·5

^aCumulative data obtained from two separate experiments

^bnumber of rats with clinical signs of EAE/total number of rats (percentage)

^cmean day ± s.d. when first signs of EAE appeared

^dmean maximal clinical score ± s.d. in diseased rats

^*statistically significant by χ² test (P = 0·013).
