Phosphatidylserine administered as an aqueous dispersion to myelin-induced experimental allergic neuritis rats had a significant effect on disease course. Intraperitoneal injections of 30 mg/kg were given daily beginning at the onset of disease and continued for 14 days. Clinical severity and mortality were markedly reduced by this treatment as compared to saline controls. Improved clinical outcome was associated with a reduction in peripheral nerve pathology. A possible mechanism involving tumor necrosis factor is discussed.

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.
