EAE progression in WT mice treated with vehicle or MDP before EAE onset

Groups	Mean onset day	Mean score of maximal symptoms	Total days
EAE–vehicle	12.43 ± 0.36	3.0 ± 0.18	21
EAE–MDP	17.20 ± 0.20****	1.8 ± 0.73*	21

Representative of mean onset day and mean score of maximal symptoms, and total days for protocol in EAE–WT mice treated with saline or MDP. The treatments started before EAE onset. Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. ****P < 0.0001, *P = 0.04, Student’s t test
