Abstract

Experimental allergic encephalitis (EAE) can be prevented with the in vivo administration of monoclonal anti I-A antibody. A radiometric assay was developed to measure the accumulation of lymphocytes in the central nervous system of EAE animals. A direct correlation was observed between severity of clinical disease and the amount of radiolabelled lymph node cells (LNC) in the central nervous system. Injection of anti I-A antibody in vivo prevented clinical EAE and decreased the accumulation of radiolabelled LNC in spinal cord after immunization with mouse spinal cord homogenate and adjuvants.
