immune system
• only a few (1-4%) of B cells express endogenous the endogenous IgH; almost all cells express transgenic IgMa
• prior to MOG-immunization, ratio of replacement to substitution mutations (R/S) in B cell V region is much lower than 14 days after immunization; R/S ratio (R/S: 3.4) is 3-fold higher than in preimmune sequences (R/S 1.4) and for the compelementarity-determining region 3, R/S ratio is 14.5 on day 14 vs 1.5 at day 0

• EAE induced with rMOG protein occurs in 70% of animals vs 29% in wild-type littermates; wild-type C57BL/6 mice are only partially susceptible to MOG-induced EAE
