Antigen-specific T cells can mediate demyelination in organotypic central nervous system cultures. 1986

To investigate a role for T lymphocytes in primary demyelination of central nervous system (CNS) tissue, antigen-specific T cell lines sensitized to myelin-associated and myelin-unrelated antigens were developed from SJL mice and tested on myelinated organotypic cultures of syngeneic spinal cord. Demyelination was assessed morphologically by electron microscopy. Antigen responsiveness and specificity, and the phenotypes of the cell lines, were determined by thymidine uptake (3H-TdR) assays and flow cytometry (FC), respectively. Although all T cell lines caused pathologic changes in myelin, the CNS-antigen-specific line induced the most pronounced effects. 3H-TdR uptake assays and FC showed that after three cycles of incubation in the presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2) or antigen, the T cell lines had increased specificity and responsiveness to the priming antigen and were enriched for the L3T4 (helper/inducer) phenotype. This represents the first direct demonstration of T-cell-mediated demyelination, supports a role for the helper/inducer subset in CNS lesion development, and may prove relevant to the human demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis.

D004676 Myelin Basic Protein An abundant cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in the structure of multilamellar myelin. Myelin basic protein binds to the cytosolic sides of myelin cell membranes and causes a tight adhesion between opposing cell membranes.

D004681 Encephalomyelitis, Autoimmune, Experimental An experimental animal model for central nervous system demyelinating disease. Inoculation with a white matter emulsion combined with FREUND'S ADJUVANT, myelin basic protein, or purified central myelin triggers a T cell-mediated immune response directed towards central myelin. The pathologic features are similar to MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, including perivascular and periventricular foci of inflammation and demyelination. Subpial demyelination underlying meningeal infiltrations also occurs, which is also a feature of ENCEPHALOMYELITIS, ACUTE DISSEMINATED. Passive immunization with T-cells from an afflicted animal to a normal animal also induces this condition.
