Abstract

Passive induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by activated or tolerogenic dendritic cells

Highlights

  • Both MS and EAE are characterized by the infiltration of inflammatory cells, including T cells, B cells, macrophages and DCs and demyelination of axonal tracks in the central nervous system.[1]

  • TolDCs have emerged as clinical targets for the treatment of autoimmunity. This protocol describes a method for passive induction of EAE by adoptive transfer of DCs primed with myelin antigen into naïve mice

  • We have shown the ability of inducing EAE between activated DCs and TolDCs in associated publication “A unique tolerizing dendritic cell phenotype induced by the synthetic triterpenoid CDDO-DFPA \(RTA-408) is protective against EAE” in _Scientific report._

Summary

Introduction

Both MS and EAE are characterized by the infiltration of inflammatory cells, including T cells, B cells, macrophages and DCs and demyelination of axonal tracks in the central nervous system.[1]. Induction of EAE results infiltration of T cells and demyelination of axon in central nervous system, further leading the clinical symptoms of MS. This protocol describes a method for passive induction of EAE by adoptive transfer of DCs primed with myelin antigen into naïve mice.
