immune system
• in vivo, Th1 response to MOG or PLP is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
|
• slightly compared to in wild-type mice when wild-type MOG T cells are transferred
|
• antigen presenting cells cannot process and present recombinant MOG protein unlike wild-type cells
|
• whether MOG-primed or adoptively transferred with MOG-specific T blasts, mice fail to develop symptoms of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) unlike wild-type mice
• PLP-treated mice fail to develop EAE unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, MOG-primed are capable of inducing encephalomyelitis in a wild-type host
