Topic: Allergic encephalomyelitis


  
  Encephalomyelitis - acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
Encephalomyelitis encephalomyelitis definition is a general term for inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model describing a number of disorders:
acute allergic encephalomyelitis equine encephalomyelitis disseminated canine acute disseminated encephalomyelitis encephalomyelitis or postinfectious encephalomyelitis, a demyelinating disease of the brain demyelinating viral encephalomyelitis and spinal cord, possibly triggered by vaccination or viral infection;
myalgic encephalomyelitis allergy and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis myalgia encephalomyelitis acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and pediatric neurology encephalomyelitis or chronic encephalomyelitis symptoms fatigue syndrome, a debilitating syndrome of unknown acute disseminated encephalomyelitis etiology which was once thought myalgic encephalomyelitis to involve inflammation of herpes virus myalgic encephalomyelitis the brain.

 [No title]
Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis is an intensely aggressive inflammatory disorder in which myelin loss occurs, predominantly as a bystander reaction, in a small perivascular sleeve of tissue as opposed to MS which is characterised by large demyelinating plaques, conspicuous astrocyte proliferation with or without scant lymphocytic infiltration.
Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis has been used as a model for MS and it is the best studied organ-specific autoimmune disease: it is not acceptable as a model for MS for many reasons, some of which have already been alluded to.

Allergic encephalomyelitis and allergic peripheral neuritis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopy (PML) and the white matter involvement in Subacute Progessive Panencephalitis (SSPE) are other examples of human demyelinating diseases.
As in post infectious encephalomyelitis, the onset of acute hemorrhagic leucoencephalitis is often preceded by a systemic infection.
Based in part, upon similarities with experimental allergic encephalitis and the failure to identify a pathogen within involved neural tissues, post infectious encephalomyelitis is presumed to be an "allergic" immune mediated process.

 ePrintsUQ - Demyelination and Neurological Signs in Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis
Because of the reported absence of demyelination in some animals with neurological signs of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), it has been suggested that these signs are not due to demyelination.
The present study demonstrates that there is ample demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) to account for the neurological signs in rats with myelin basic protein (MBP)-induced acute EAE as well as in rats and rabbits with whole-spinal-cord-induced acute EAE.

We report here for the first time the occurrence of apoptosis of cells in the spinal cord in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), an autoimmune, T-cell-mediated demyelinating disease.
They were found in both the white and grey matter of the spinal cord in all 4 forms of this disease.
Thus apoptotic deletion of myelin/oligodendrocyte-specific lymphocytes in the central nervous system in EAE might explain both the subsidence of inflammation and the acquisition of tolerance in this autoimmune disease.

 [Frontiers in Bioscience 2, d197-206, May 1, 1997]
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), which is produced by many cell types including macrophages and T cells, also inhibits generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates (58,59), especially in synergy with IL-10 (43,57,60), and is hypothesized to play a critical role in resolution of inflammatory lesions in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (61-63).
The role of contact-dependent signaling in the development of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis has been shown dramatically using transgenic B10.PL mice expressing the T cell receptor reactive with the encephalitogenic peptide (Ac1-11) of myelin basic protein.
The studies on experimenal allergic encephalomyelitis to date strongly support critical roles for CD40 and TNF-alpha (CD40-induced?) in the pathogenesis of sclerotic lesions and for TGF-beta in remission of the inflammatory episode.
