Chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. Immunological and blood--cerebrospinal fluid barrier-dependent changes in the cerebrospinal fluid. 1983

A J Suckling, and H Reiber, and J A Kirby, and M G Rumsby

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma were taken from strain 13 guinea pigs in various stages of chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis using techniques which allowed repeated sampling from the same animal. Samples were assayed for albumin and IgG and the corresponding CSF/plasma quotients evaluated graphically using a method which could discriminate between blood-CSF barrier dysfunction and local IgG synthesis in the central nervous system (CNS). During the disease a 2-3-fold increase in plasma IgG concentration developed and an increase in blood-CSF permeability was noted. Isoelectric focusing revealed an oligoclonal IgG pattern identical in both plasma and CSF. The results provided no evidence for a local production of IgG in the CNS like that which is known to occur in multiple sclerosis.

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.
