• the fraction of B220+ T cells in the lymph nodes and the thymic distribution of CD4/CD8 cells are similar to wild-type

• demyelination induced by injection of MOG p35-55 is reduced by about 70% compared to wild-type
• perivascular and parenchymal infiltration by T lymphocytes and macrophages is also reduced after induction of EAE
• mild reduction in oligodendrocyte apoptosis after EAE induction
