Effects of glucocorticoids on experimental allergic neuritis. 1985

R H King, and R I Craggs, and M L Gross, and P K Thomas

Corticosteroids were administered to rats and guinea pigs with experimental allergic neuritis, from the time of inoculation with antigen or from the onset of signs of disease. No statistically significant effects were observed in guinea pigs. In rats, to which large doses of corticosteroids were administered, disease severity was slightly but significantly reduced in both groups and recovery was more rapid in the animals treated from the time of induction of disease. These results were comparable with those obtained in trials of corticosteroids in acute inflammatory polyneuropathy in man, which have also not demonstrated any striking effects.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009444 Neuritis, Autoimmune, Experimental An experimental animal model for the demyelinating disease of GUILLAINE-BARRE SYNDROME. In the most frequently used protocol, animals are injected with a peripheral nerve tissue protein homogenate. After approximately 2 weeks the animals develop a neuropathy secondary to a T cell-mediated autoimmune response directed towards the MYELIN P2 PROTEIN in peripheral nerves. Pathologic findings include a perivascular accumulation of macrophages and T lymphocytes in the peripheral nervous system, similar to that seen in the Guillaine-Barre syndrome.
