Figure 4. Disease course of mice undergoing EAE after immunization with rat MOG35-55.
*Mice were immunized s.c. with rat MOG 35−55. Pertussis toxin was administered i.p. at day 0 and day 2. 12 animals per group were included in this study. Neurological impairment was monitored using a ten-point standardized rating scale and expressed as Mean ± Standard Deviation. Spinal cord and cerebellum were taken at day14 (D14), day17 (D17) and day28 (D28) in MOG-induced (n = 4) and SHAM mice (n = 4). The body weight was monitored over the disease time course and the body weight loss ± SEM was reported. Disease onset occurred at day 10 and reached a maximum at day 22.
