In-vivo experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)-suppressive activity of Ac-PLP-cIBR-NH2-1 and Ac-PLPsc-cIBR-NH2-1 (scrambled sequence) in the EAE model to evaluate the importance of bifunctional peptide inhibitors (BPI) structure. Proteolipid protein (PLP)139–151/complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-immunized mice received intravenous injections of vehicle or indicated peptides (50 nmol/injection/day on days 4, 7 and 10). (a) Clinical EAE disease score. (b) Change in body weight. Results are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 10). Statistical values for EAE clinical scores and loss in body weight compared with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-treated mice were as follows: Ac-PLP-cIBR-NH2-1, P < 0·01; and Ac-PLPsc-cIBR-NH2-1, P > 0·05.
