Abstract excerpt
The administration of Th2 cytokines or immune deviation to a Th2 phenotypic response has been shown to protect against the autoimmune pathology of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). To better understand the function of Th2 cytokines in the induction stage of EAE in the absence of an overt Th2 response, we immunized IL-4 receptor alpha-deficient (IL-4Ralpha(-/-)) mice, which are unable to respond to...
