Abstract excerpt
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of the human autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS) and is primarily driven by T helper type 1 (Th1) cells. Interleukin (IL)-12 and interferon (IFN)-gamma are important cytokines involved in the differentiation and amplification of Th1 cells, however mice deficient in either IFN-gamma or IL-12 still develop EAE. We have used microarray...
