Evaluation of the clinical score over time of C57BL/6 female mice immunized with MOG35-55 emulsified with CFA, treated with Dexamethasone (DEX, 50 mg/kg) or Fingolimod (FTY-720, 10 mg/kg) at the day of immunization. (A) The schematic timeline for the experimental design. (B) Treatment with DEX on the day of immunization protected against EAE clinical score evolution; dotted arrows indicate the day of the euthanasia. (C) The sum of the total score from each animal at the 26 dpi was used to determine disease severity. (D) Hematoxylin-Eosin staining of mice spinal cord, arrows showed infiltrating clusters of peripheral cells in EAE and EAE + DEX. (E) Density of infiltrating cells in the white matter of EAE and EAE + DEX spinal cords/100 μm2. The results are showed as mean ± SEM of the experimental groups (N = 18). *p < 0.05 vs EAE [Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-test (B), bi-caudal T-test (C) and Mann-Whitney non-parametric test (E)].
