Abstract excerpt
With a panel of rat strains, we demonstrate a strong impact of the MHC genotype on susceptibility and disease course in experimental autoimmune neuritis induced with peripheral nerve myelin or the P2 peptide 58-81 (KNTEISFKLGQEFEETTADNRKTK). Beside the MHC genotype, non-MHC genes determined disease susceptibility and resistance. The type of disease induced with P2 58-81 was strongly correlated to the strength of...
