Abstract
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)is a well known animal model of Multiple sclerosis. In this study EAE was induced by the adoptive transfer of PLP139-51 specific T cell clones into SJL/J mice. Encephalitogenic Th1 T cell clones induced the typical mononuclear EAE lesions in the spinal cord and optic nerve, whereas EAE lesions induced by a Th2 type T cell clone were characterized by eosinophilic infiltrates, with abundant Ig deposition and considerable tissue destruction. Antibody responses in T cell clone transfered animals revealed early epitope spreading to other myelin antigens.
