*P<0.01, *P<0.05, *P<0.01 (EVA+/+ anti-HEL vs anti-VLA4) (as compared to EVA−/−).
Total mononuclear cells counts per spinal cord were 73,143±8951 (EVA−/− anti-HEL); 62,102±4008 (EVA−/− anti-VLA4); 63,732±7504* (EVA+/+ anti-HEL); 17,540±2717* (EVA+/+ anti-VLA4).
P<0.01 (EVA+/+ anti-HEL vs EVA+/+ anti-VLA4).
Data were generated from using multiple animals (3–7) from multiple independent experiments (3–4).
