Abstract:
Objective To establish P2 or P0 peptide-induced experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN)in the Lewis rats and to explore the optimal type and doses of antigen inoculated to induce EAN and the associated cell-mediated immune mechanisms.Methods Lewis rats were classified into EAN and control groups.The EAN rats were immunized by injection into both hind footpads of inoculums containing 100 or 200 ?g of P2_(57-81)peptide or 200?g of P0_(180-199)peptide and Freund's complete adjuvant(FCA),and the control rats were immunized with FCA only.Clinical scores were compared when they were at peak time of paralysis.Lymphocyte proliferation assay,the ratio of CD_4~+ T cells to lymphatic monocytes and percentage of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ T cells to CD_4~+ T cells obtained on day 14 post-immunization were examined.Histopathalogical assessment of sciatic nerves was made.Results Peak clinical scores of P2_(57-81)200 ?g group were dramatically higher than those in P2_(57-81)100 ?g group and P0_(180-199)200 ?g group(both P
