immune system
• mice have a significantly more severe form of EAE with an earlier onset than controls after induction with MOG peptide
• mean day of onset is 11.5 compared to 13.9 for wild-type controls
• mean severity score is 4.0 versus 3.0 in wild-type controls
• memory T cells isolated from mice 10 days after disease induction proliferate more and produce more TH-1 cytokines and less IL-10
