Brown-Norway (BN) rats are uniquely susceptible to development of autoimmune phenomena and enlargement of lymph nodes and spleen after repeated injections of mercuric chloride. Despite its ability to produce autoimmunity, HgCl2 inhibited the development in BN rats of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), another autoimmune process. The inhibition by mercury was probably due to lack of the normal absorption and granulomatous reaction to the EAE inoculum in the enlarged lymph nodes draining the inoculation site. Lewis rats did not develop enlarged nodes from HgCl2 treatment. Lewis lymph nodes absorbed the EAE inoculum abundantly and developed an extensive granulomatous reaction despite the mercury treatment, and there was only a slight inhibition of EAE. Therefore, the ability of HgCl2 to produce lymphadenopathy in BN rats may be responsible for the inability of these rats to absorb the inoculated antigen. The mercury-induced failure of absorption was manifested as an inhibition of EAE in BN rats. 相似文献

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis to Lewis rats wad puppressed by treatment with essential fatty acids (EFA) given perorally, This treatment effect could be abolished by administration of a drug (Indomethacin) known to inhibit biosynthesis of certain prostaglandins from EFA.This observation suggests that the suppressive effect of EFA on cell-mediated immune reactions is brought about by EFA-derived prostaglandins. 相似文献

A soluble suppressor factor has been prepared from cells of mice rendered nonsusceptible to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) by treatment with mouse spinal cord homogenate in incomplete Freund's adjuvant. The specific activity of this factor can be augmented by using a cell population enriched on plates coated with anti-mouse Fab and the specific antigen, mouse basic encephalitogen (MBE). The resultant suppressor factor had the same biologic activities as the cells from which it originated. Thus, it suppressed specifically the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to MBE in vivo, and blocked in vitro the effector lymphocytes that adoptively transfer the DTH response. The suppressor factor reactivity was manifested also by the capacity to suppress the activity of macrophage migration inhibition factor produced by sensitized lymphocytes in the presence of the specific antigen MBE. The suppressor factor is antigen-specific and can bind the MBE in vitro and thus compete with its antibody binding. The most significant activity of the soluble suppressor factor is its ability to interfere with the induction of clinical EAE. 相似文献

The effect of dermatan sulfate (DS) on the treatment of Lewis rats with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was examined. DS, a sulfated glycosaminoglycan, has been reported to exhibit anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities. DS treatment (50 mg/kg/day) facilitates recovery from the clinical manifestations of EAE. In this study, the fibrinolytic activity was higher in DS-treated rats than in saline-treated rats. Although the degree of perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration in the spinal cord was not suppressed in DS-treated rats compared to that in saline-treated rats, perivascular fibrin deposition was markedly suppressed in DS-treated rats. These findings suggest that DS would act as an effective therapeutic agent for EAE by preventing fibrin deposition. 相似文献

Dynamics of emergence of specific reactive cell (SRC) with respect to the brain antigen in the draining regional lymph nodes and peripheral blood was studied in experimental whooping cough allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in guinea pigs. The greatest number of SRC in the regional lymph nodes, that markedly decreased by the 9th day of sensitization, was revealed in the middle of the EAE incubation period (the 6-7th day), whereas the peripheral blood showed the highest SRC number during this period. The SRC number rose in the regional lymph nodes and dropped in the peripheral blood at the height of EAE progress (the 20th day). It is concluded that SRC found may be attributed to T lymphocyte population. 相似文献

Adult SJL/J mice were depleted of T lymphocytes and were reconstituted with Lyt-1, Lyt-2, or Lyt-1 + Lyt-2 cells. After immunization with MSCH, severe acute EAE developed in the Lyt-1- and the Lyt-1 + Lyt-2-reconstituted mice. Only 25% of the Lyt-2-reconstituted mice developed signs of EAE, and in those EAE onset was delayed. Thus, Lyt-1 cells mediate EAE in the mouse. 相似文献

Cytotoxicity of immune lymph node cells in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) was maximal 9 days after injection of encephalitogenic emulsion. The ability of these cells to passively transfer EAE was also maximal at this time. Immune spleen cells were more cytotoxic than lymph node cells 9 days after injection; however, these cells did not passively transfer EAE. Twelve days after injection of encephalitogenic emulsion immune spleen cells passively transferred EAE with resulting mild histopathologic lesions. At this time the spleen cells were 50% more cytotoxic than comparable lymph node cells. Cyclophosphamide suppressed the development of clinical EAE and the development of cytotoxic lymphoid cells. It also reduced clinical signs and cytotoxic activity of lymph node cells. Spleen cell cytotoxic activity was enhanced by Cyclophosphamide. It was concluded that cytotoxic activity of lymph node and spleen cells was correlated with the ability of these cells to produce EAE. Lymph node cell populations differed qualitatively and/or quantitatively from immune spleen cell populations in EAE. Capacity to passively transfer EAE coincided with the maximal Cytotoxicity of the lymphoid cells from each tissue. 相似文献

We determined requirements for the induction of immunoregulatory suppressor cells in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in Lewis rats. Pretreatment of rats with myelin basic protein (BP) in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) stimulates the proliferation of suppressor cells that localize in lymph nodes and spleen (but not thymus) and exert control over the development of clinical EAE. Dosage studies revealed that 3 X 10(7) suppressor cells can adoptively transfer suppression to syngeneic recipients. Transferred unresponsiveness wanes within 3 weeks, indicating that the suppressor cells are short-lived lymphocytes, although actively induced unresponsiveness persists for at least 8 weeks, probably as a result of continual proliferation under the influence of antigen. No evidence was obtained to suggest that antigen carry-over or blocking antibody production accounts for adoptive transfer of unresponsiveness. Suppressor cells apparently act at the inductive phase of the immune response since they had no inhibitory effect on adoptive transfer of disease by effector lymph node cells. Other mechanisms also may play a role in unresponsiveness to EAE, since rats pretreated i.v. with high dosages of soluble BP were temporarily rendered unresponsive, although suppressor cells could not be detected in these animals. 相似文献

This protocol details a method to actively induce experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), a widely used animal model for studies of multiple sclerosis. EAE is induced by stimulating T-cell-mediated immunity to myelin antigens. Active induction of EAE is accomplished by immunization with myelin antigens emulsified in adjuvant. This protocol focuses on induction of EAE in mice; however, the same principles apply to EAE induction in other species. EAE in rodents is manifested typically as ascending flaccid paralysis with inflammation targeting the spinal cord. However, more diverse clinical signs can occur in certain strain/antigen combinations in rodents and in other species, reflecting increased inflammation in the brain. 相似文献

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a widely used animal model of the human demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis. EAE is initiated by immunization with myelin antigens in adjuvant or by adoptive transfer of myelin-specific T cells, resulting in inflammatory infiltrates and demyelination in the central nervous system. Induction of EAE in rodents typically results in ascending flaccid paralysis with inflammation primarily targeting the spinal cord. This protocol describes passive induction of EAE by adoptive transfer of T cells isolated from mice primed with myelin antigens into na?ve mice. The advantages of using this method versus active induction of EAE are discussed. 相似文献

Prevention of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis by nonencephalitogenic basic peptides 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The biological properties of the chymotrypsin-treated encephalitogenic basic protein are described. The basic protein, isolated from bovine spinal cord, was digested with chymotrypsin and filtered through Sephadex gel resulting in three distinct well-separated peaks starting at the void volume of the column. Tubes common to each peak were combined into Fractions I, II, and III, respectively. More than 90% of the original protein was recovered in the three fractions. Fraction II, representing 76% of the original protein, was nonencephalitogenic when tested in guinea pigs at 0.010-, 0.025-, and 0.500-mg doses emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant. Guinea pigs immunized with Fraction II were protected from EAE when challenged with encephalitogenic emulsions. A critical dose of 1.0 mg completely protected the animals from disease, while partial protection was obtained with lower doses. In addition to producing circulating antibodies, animals sensitized with Fraction II, the encephalitogenic tryptophan peptide or the basic protein displayed a delayed-type hypersensitivity response when skin tested with either of the three antigens. The positive skin reactivity in animals sensitized with Fraction II was not followed by EAE during 5 months of observation. In contrast, animals sensitized with extracts from bovine tissues other than the central nervous system were not protected from disease when challenged with encephalitogenic emulsions.The main finding here reported is the prevention of EAE with nonencephalitogenic peptides derived from the parent EAE-producing protein. The peptides retain the ability to induce delayed-type hypersensitivity and provide antigens to study the role of delayed hypersensitivity in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. 相似文献

Spleen cells from myelin basic protein (BP)-sensitized donor rats appear to be incapable of adoptively transferring experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) directly to normal recipients. It has been reported that in vitro incubation with concanavalin A (Con A) activates rat spleen cells so that they are capable of transferring EAE. We report here that incubation with specific antigen, BP, also permits transfer of disease with spleen cells. Data are presented in which activation of EAE spleen cells by Con A is compared with activation by BP. Cellular proliferation does not appear to be necessary for in vitro activation with specific antigen. 相似文献

The histoenzymic pattern of oxidative enzymes (G3PD, IDH, SD, G6PD,HBD, NADPH: dehydrogenase) was investigated in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) produced in rats according to PATERSON [13]. The results obtained lead to following conclusions: (1) The neuroglia, including the white matter oligodendroglia of immunized rats, exhibits increased oxidoreductase activities; (2) The neuroallergic reaction induces some stimulation of the oxidoreductive metabolism of oligoden-droglia; (3) The enzymatic hyperactivity in EAE does not show any relation to the morphological signs of alterations of the myelin sheath. 相似文献

Acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a T cell-mediated, neurologic disease that is under immunogenetic control. We systematically analyzed the quantity and distribution of T cells, B cells, and macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS) of susceptible and resistant guinea (GP) with a panel of seven monoclonal antibodies by using the avidin-biotin complex (ABC) immunoperoxidase technique and alpha-naphthyl-butyrate esterase (ANBE) staining. Adult EAE-susceptible strain 13 GP immunized with isogeneic spinal cord homogenate (SC) or with myelin basic protein (MBP) developed clinical signs (paralysis, weight loss, etc.) in 2 to 3 wk. T cells were present in all CNS inflammatory foci and comprised 44% of the perivascular mononuclear cells. T cells diffusely infiltrated the neuropil away from inflammatory cell aggregates. These T cells were judged to be extravascular by the lack of an associated identifiable vessel in counter-stained sections, and by their persistence following exhaustive perfusion of the brains. In routine sections, mononuclear cells could be detected only in perivascular aggregates. IgM+ B cells comprised 9% of the perivascular infiltrates and did not diffusely infiltrate the parenchyma. ANBE+ macrophages comprised the remaining 47% of the identified perivascular cells. SC- and MBP-immunized GP showed equivalent numbers of inflammatory foci, T cells, and macrophages, but SC-immunized GP had more IgM+ cells in the meninges and choroid plexus (p less than 0.001, p less than 0.02, respectively). Virtually all cells in perivascular locations were Ia+. Ia+ mononuclear cells were also present in the neuropil. EAE-resistant strain 2 GP immunized with SC developed no clinical signs. These GP had fewer perivascular foci than strain 13 GP but, when present, the cellular composition, including the density of diffuse parenchymal T cell infiltrates, was indistinguishable. Significantly fewer parenchymal mononuclear cells in the strain 2 GP, however, displayed Ia, both in perivascular and diffuse infiltrates (p less than 0.001). We conclude that T cell migration into the CNS parenchyma is a characteristic feature of acute EAE in the GP, but that T cells can occur in this pattern without clinical signs of disease. The two features that distinguish susceptible and resistant strains were the frequency of perivascular infiltrates and the expression of Ia on parenchymal mononuclear cells, which probably reflects their enhanced immunologic activation in situ. 相似文献
