Abstrakt: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) often used as a model for the early inflammatory stages of multiple sclerosis and also as a model of organ-specific autoimmune disease.This protocol describes the induction of passive EAE in mice, either using T cells isolated from mice primed with myelin antigens, or through the use of naïve TCR transgenic T cells activated in vitro in the presence of myelin-derived antigens.
