• B and T cell distribution in the lymph nodes is normal
• the fraction of B220+ T cells in the lymph nodes and the thymic distribution of CD4/CD8 cells are similar to wild-type
|
• mice are almost completely resistant to induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by injection of MOG p35-55
• almost no oligodendrocyte apoptosis after EAE induction unlike in wild-type mice
• reduction in demyelination and inflammation after induction of EAE is greater than in mutant mice wild-type for Tnfrsf1a
• 24 days after induction of EAE, minimal axonal injury is seen in spinal cords
