In experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), T cells infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS) and induce inflammation. These CD4+ T cells secrete interferon (IFN)-gamma, levels of which correlate with disease severity, and which is proposed to play a key role in disease induction. Many strains of mice are resistant to EAE. We have studied the effect of deletion of IFN-gamma on the ability to induce EAE in...
