Abstract excerpt
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is encoded within the RT1.M region of the rat MHC a susceptibility locus for MOG-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We report that the enhanced susceptibility of Brown Norway (BN) rats to MOG-EAE is associated with higher expression of MOG mRNA and protein in the nervous system than in the less susceptible Lewis (LEW) strain. MOG mRNA was also...
