In Vivo Pharmacodynamic Evaluation of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) Mouse Disease Model (CAT#: STEM-AE-0679-LGZ)

Introduction

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that can lead to encephalitis and demyelination. MS is considered an autoimmune disease caused by autoreactive T cells, with symptoms including muscle stiffness and paralysis, visual disturbances and blindness, sensory loss and ataxia, characterized by recurrent recurrence. Currently, a variety of different MS animal models are available, among which the Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) model is widely used in the multiple sclerosis research, due to its pathological characteristics similar to MS's inflammation and demyelination.




Principle

In rodents such as mice and rats, models of EAE can be induced immunologically using spinal cord homogenates, purified myelin sheath, myelin proteins (such as myelin basic protein MBP, protein lipoprotein PLP, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein MOG), or peptides of these proteins. This is likely due to myelin specific T cells being activated peripherically, crossing the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system and being reactivated, triggering a cascade of inflammatory responses leading to demyelination and axonal cell apoptosis, ultimately leading to nerve damage and loss of function. Clinical symptoms were evaluated using a standardized scoring system to measure the degree of disease induction. Local demyelination and inflammatory leukocyte infiltration were seen in stained sections of pathological tissue.
