Studies of coagulation system factors: effects on neuroinflammatory processes using transgenic mice or pharmacological substances.

Mouse line (genetic background) Model (peptide) Genetic background or species Neuroinflammatory effect Reference
γ377–395 Active RR-EAE (PLP) SJL Reduced clinical symptoms, decreased inflammation, reduced microglial activation (58)

Ancrod Active RR-EAE (PLP) SJL Reduced clinical symptoms, decreased microglial activation and demyelination, no impact on immune cell proliferation (58)
TNF-transgenic model (no peptide, spontaneous) Tg6072 TNF transgenic mice Reduced demyelination, downregulation of MHC-I (60)
Active EAE Rat Reduced clinical symptoms, decreased inflammation and fibrin deposition (62)

Batroxobin Active EAE (MOG) C57BL/6 Reduced clinical symptoms, decreased inflammation, demyelination, no effect on axonal damage (63)
