Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), and the related experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, are diseases of the brain and spinal cord, similar in many respects to MS, which are induced in laboratory animals.
Animals with EAE serve as animal models for MS, allowing experimentation that would be impossible and unethical in humans who have the disease.
EAE is induced in strains of lab animals that are susceptible to the disease by injecting myelin or specific myelin proteins in combination with an immune-exciting agent, called an adjuvent.

 experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis - multiple sclerosis encyclopaedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
EAE is not multiple sclerosis, nor is it a single disease in a single species, but its different forms resemble the various forms and stages of MS very closely in a large number of ways.
EAE is an acute or chronic-relapsing, acquired, inflammatory and demyelinating autoimmune disease.
Because EAE is an animal disease, it enables researchers (especially immunologists) to study demyelination (the process underlying the symptoms of MS) in ways that would not be morally acceptable in studies of MS in humans.

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is one of best-studied models of autoimmune disease, and is characterized by an autoimmune attack on CNS myelin mediated by neural autoantigen-specific T helper cells [1].
During induction of EAE, autoreactive T-cells are activated in the periphery by subcutaneous injection of either spinal cord homogenate (SCH) or CNS antigens, which may include myelin basic protein, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, or proteolipid protein or their peptides [2].
Of relevance to EAE is the observation that treatment of animals with dopaminergic agonists which reduce prolactin release decreases both severity and duration of clinical signs of the disease [10,11].

 ePrintsUQ - Vulnerability of the Dorsal Root Ganglion in Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis
In recent studies on the pathophysiology of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), the main animal model of multiple sclerosis, the DRG of the rabbit was shown to be the site of extensive inflammation and demyelination and of focal conduction block in a high proportion of the large diameter afferents.
The vulnerability of the DRG is due to a deficient blood-nerve barrier and possibly also to a susceptibility of the branch point of the ganglion neurone to demyelination-induced conduction block.
These and other studies in experimental animals suggest that in man the DRG may be a preferential (but neglected) site of focal structural and functional abnormalities in inflammatory and also other neurological diseases.

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an experimentally induced autoimmune disease mediated by T cells.
Histologically, EAE is hallmarked by perivascular and submeningeal infiltration of inflammatory cells within the brain and spinal cord [4].
EAE was shown to be prevented or attenuated by passive transfer of serum from rats recovering from EAE [52], or by passive transfer of monoclonal antibodies against these TCR Vβ region and its idiotypes [9,42-44].

In old BALB/c mice susceptibility to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) with bovine proteolipid apoprotein (PLP) is reduced significantly.
Susceptibility to EAE induced by either PLP or bovine myelin basic protein (MBP) also was reduced in old SJL mice.
In contrast, spleen cells from aged mice did not induce EAE, so the reduction of EAE susceptibility was mainly explained by the failure of T cell activity.

The word "allergic" was included in the term "experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE)" early in the use of this experimental model even though there is no evidence that IgE-mediated allergic responses play a pathogenic role.
The post-infectious and post-vaccination acute encephalomyelitis in humans also appears to be mainly T cell mediated with no evidence that I know for an IgE mediation.
