To investigate the role of anti-myelin antibodies in chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (CR-EAE), sera from SJL/J mice with CR-EAE actively induced by inoculation with spinal cord homogenate in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) were compared with sera from mice to whom CR-EAE was passively transferred by lymph node cells (LNC) stimulated with myelin basic protein (BP). Sera were obtained serially from mice during both remissions and relapses of disease and were evaluated for the presence of anti-myelin antibodies using an avidin-biotin-immunoperoxidase technique. Four of six mice with CR-EAE induced with cord-CFA were positive for anti-myelin antibodies 15-124 days after inoculation, with 16 of 18 sera positive in these four mice. Two mice inoculated with cord-CFA did not have detectable serum anti-myelin antibodies, despite a clinical and histopathological picture indistinguishable from the antibody-positive mice. None of seven mice with CR-EAE passively transferred by BP-stimulated LNC had detectable anti-myelin antibodies in 30 sera obtained 7-141 days after cell transfer. We conclude that serum anti-myelin antibodies probably do not play a significant role in the pathogenesis of CR-EAE in SJL/J mice.

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.
