Delaying the onset of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis with the microtubule-stabilizing compounds, paclitaxel and Peloruside A
4 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
The hallmark of autoimmunity is the activation and proliferation of autoreactive lymphocytes. Therefore, one potential strategy to treat autoimmunity is to target the proliferating autoreactive lymphocytes with antimitotic drugs. Paclitaxel and peloruside are two microtubule-stabilizing drugs that halt cell proliferation by stabilizing microtubules in the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle. C57BL/6 mice treated for 5...
