Abstract

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is one of the most popular animal models of multiple sclerosis (MS). There are a number of EAE models, being actively induced EAE in strains such as C57Bl/6 mice very robust and reproducible. We herewith present details of the materials and methods for active EAE. Mice are immunized with an emulsion of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide 35-55 (MOG) + complete Freund's adjuvant (supplemented with Mycobacterium tuberculosis), and treated with Bordetella pertussis toxin, to induce EAE. Sham-EAE mice are immunized with bovine serum albumin instead of MOG.
