Abstract excerpt
Immunization of H2(p) and H2(q) congenic C3H mouse strains with the PLP 103-116 peptide elicited two distinct experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) disease courses. C3H.Q (H2(q)) mice developed an acute-phase disease with classical ascending paralytic signs whereas C3H.NB (H2(p)) developed a highly variable disease course with symptoms originating from CNS above the spinal chord. C3H.Q lacks functional...
