encephalomyelitis/アルブミン

The experiments on guinea pig with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) have shown that the most significant changes in the content, binding ability and thermodynamic characteristics of serum albumin are found at the early stages preceding the appearance of neurological characters. The

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced in young male Lewis rats. Immunohistochemical visualisation of albumin and IgG in the nervous tissue was performed at intervals after induction. The results were correlated to the histological appearance of the tissue. Albumin appeared in the

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an autoimmune disease characterised by a disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), demyelination and a relevant inflammatory reaction with an intense infiltration of macrophages. These neurological disorders are similar to those observed in the

Thirteen dogs with encephalomyelitis attributable to canine distemper virus infection were classified into 3 groups on the basis of histopathologic evidence of virus-induced lesions in CNS tissue. Analysis of data indicated a similarity within groups when arranged by age, clinical neurologic signs,

BACKGROUND Although clinical data for beneficial effects of Betaferon, human recombinant-interferon (r-IFN) β-1b, are accumulating, what is less evident is how and why it works. OBJECTIVE The present study was carried out to examine whether Betaferon suppresses progression of experimental autoimmune

Suppression of oxidative injury by viral-mediated transfer of the human catalase gene was tested in the optic nerves of animals with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). EAE is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder of primary central nervous system demyelination that has been frequently used

During experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), both blood-borne macrophages as well as activated, resident microglial cells are considered to be involved in inflammatory reactions in the central nervous system (CNS), resulting in the neurological deficits common to EAE. Both cell types can

OBJECTIVE To probe into the pathogenic mechanisms of paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis (PEM) or sensory neuronopathy(PSN). METHODS The serum and cerebral spinal fluid(CSF) anti-Hu antibodies and titers in 16 patients with PEM and 14 patients with PSN were detected with indirect immunohistochemistry

As glucocorticoids influence both catecholamine synthesis and adrenoceptor expression by immune cells, the current study was undertaken to distinguish their direct effects on the development of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis from those induced by alteration of catecholamine signaling. We

A patient with atypical manifestations of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) encephalomyelitis is presented. The patient had unusual spinal fluid immunoglobulin abnormalities, the syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion, autonomic dysfunction and spinal arachnoiditis. The cisternal CSF, with

Myelin basic protein (MBP) of guinea pig origin was incorporated into magnetically responsive albumin microspheres. Protein-protein bonding and stabilization of the GPMBP microspheres by heating at 120 degrees C did not adversely influence their capacity to bind anti-MBP antibodies or demonstrably

We investigated the possible mechanisms how interferon (IFN)-beta may control T cell infiltration in the CNS in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Adoptive transfer (AT) EAE was induced in groups of six female Lewis rats. Animals were treated with 3 x 10(5) units of recombinant rat

Alterations in the effect of a known encephalitogenic dose of myelin basic protein (MBP) when inoculated in combination with various myelin lipids have been examined in guinea pigs. A previous study demonstrated that, when MBP was given with galactocerebroside, it produced an acute autoimmune

Pre-immunization with autoantigens confers resistance in experimental models of autoimmune diseases. Since non-self molecules can also be protective, it is conceivable that part of the effect rests on a non-specific attenuation of the immune response. This study is aimed at identifying mechanisms by
