• despite loss of retinal pigment epithelia in tamoxifen treated mice, the retinal pigment epithelial barrier function is maintained and retinal vasculature is normal

• at 1 year after tamoxifen injection, focal lesions in these regions are no longer seen
• white matter lesions in tamoxifen injected mice show presence of macrophages containing myelin debris and unmyelinated axons, indicating ongoing demyelination
• tamoxifen treated mice exhibit loss of oligodendrocytes, peaking 5 weeks after injection and recovering by 10 weeks
• brainstem shows an approximate 50% decrease in oligodendrocytes at 1 year after tamoxifen treatment
• however, substantial oligodendrocyte loss in other CNS areas is not seen at 1 year after tamoxifen treatment
• thinner myelin in both tamoxifen treated and untreated mice (due to leakiness of the cre-expressing transgene)
• axonal loss in the ventrolateral white matter of the cervical spinal cord (40%) and the optic nerve (55%) at 1 year after tamoxifen treatment
• tamoxifen treated mice exhibit widespread CNS demyelination, peaking 5 weeks after injection and recovering by 10 weeks
• mice exhibit widespread myelin loss at 1 year after tamoxifen injection
• mice not treated with tamoxifen show some myelin loss in most CNS areas at 52 weeks of age, indicating leakiness of the cre-expressing transgene
• untreated mice exhibit about 30% fewer unmyelinated axons in the corpus callosum compared to tamoxifen treated mice

behavior/neurological
• mice show impaired motor skills starting around 40 weeks after tamoxifen injection
• tamoxifen treated mice exhibit severe ataxia starting around 40 weeks after injection
• mice exhibit seizures starting around 40 weeks after tamoxifen injection

growth/size/body
• mice show weight loss starting around 40 weeks after tamoxifen injection

hematopoietic system
• activated CD4+ T cells are present in the CNS at 10 weeks after tamoxifen injection and both activated CD4+ T cells and antigen-presenting dendritic cells are present in the CNS 40 week after tamoxifen injection

immune system
• activated CD4+ T cells are present in the CNS at 10 weeks after tamoxifen injection and both activated CD4+ T cells and antigen-presenting dendritic cells are present in the CNS 40 week after tamoxifen injection
• total numbers of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells in the CNS-draining cervical lymph nodes of tamoxifen treated mice is higher than in controls
• at 40 weeks after tamoxifen injection, autoreactive T cells capable of proliferating in response to stimulation with recombinant MOG protein are seen in the spleen and cervical lymph nodes indicating an adaptive autoimmune response against myelin
• focal lesions in tamoxifen treated mice are sites of active inflammation, frequently infiltrated by T cells, and contain a high density of microglia or macrophages
• mice show increased CD3+ T cells in the CNS as early as 7 weeks after tamoxifen injection, increased numbers of CD4+ T cells in the CNS at 10 and 40 weeks after tamoxifen injection, and increased numbers of MHCII+B7+ (CD80+CD86+) dendritic cells at 40 weeks after tamoxifen injection

digestive/alimentary system
• treatment of mice with tamoxifen results in an expansion of Krt7-expressing cells from their ordered appearance at the squamocolumnar junction to more anterior regions of the proximal stomach; the migrating Krt7+ cells do not have squamous properties
