Gene knock-out and knock-in mice are becoming increasingly indispensable for mechanism-oriented studies of EAE. Most gene-modified mice are on the C57BL/6 background, for which presently there are only two EAE models available, the MOG peptide 35-55 and the PLP 178-191 peptide induced disease. However, because MS is not a single pathogenic entity, different EAE models are required to reproduce and study its...
