EAE development before and after EAE onset in the treatment and control groups, respectively

Groups	Mean onset day	Mean score of maximal symptoms	Total days
EAE–vehicle	10.20 ± 0.37	1.3 ± 0.66	12
EAE–MDP	0****	0*	12

Representative of mean onset day and mean score of maximal symptoms, and total days in WT mice, at the timepoint that all mice in the control group are sick, and no mouse in the treatment group show any disease symptom. The treatment in the groups started before EAE onset. Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. ****P < 0.0001, *P = 0.04, Student’s t test
