Induction and Analysis of EAE in Mice

Young (3–4 m) and aged (15 m) old C57BL/6J female mice were acquired from Charles River Laboratories. Anesthetised mice were immunised with subcutaneous injections of 150 µg of MOG35-55 (GenScript) emulsified in 200 µl of complete Freud’s adjuvant (CFA) (Incomplete Freund’s Adjuvant containing 2.5 mg/mL Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, both BD Biosciences). At 0- and 2-days post-immunisation, mice were injected with 200 ng of pertussis toxin intraperitoneally (PHZ1174, Thermofisher). EAE clinical signs and weight were monitored daily from 7 days post-immunisation. Mice were euthanised at 36 days post-immunisation by transcardial perfusion with PBS followed by 4% PFA. Spinal cords were dissected and immersed overnight in 4% PFA at 4 °C. Next, spinal cords were cryoprotected with 30% sucrose (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS for 72 h and snap-frozen in OCT (Tissue-Tek). Frozen spinal cords were cryosectioned at 12 µm thickness and immunostained as described below.

Murine EAE Induction and Scoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EAE induction was performed as described previously with minor modifications48 (link),49 (link). All of the animal experiments were approved by the Committee for Use of Live Animals in Teaching and Research at The University of Hong Kong. 7- to 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were used for EAE induction. The animals were housed in the Laboratory Animal Unit on a 12 h day/night cycle, with food and water ad libitum, and were allowed to acclimatize for 1 week before disease induction.
Female mice were subcutaneously immunized with 200 μg MOG35–55 peptide (Genscript, Piscataway, NJ) in complete Freund’s adjuvant (3 mg/ml). Freshly prepared pertussis toxin (PHZ1174, ThermoFisher, 250 ng) in sterile PBS was injected intraperitoneally on day 0 and 48 h later.
EAE symptoms were scored daily as follows: 0, no clinical signs; 0.5, partially limp tail; 1, paralyzed tail; 1.5, hind limb paresis or loss in coordinated movement; 2, loss in coordinated movement and hind limb paresis; 3, one hind limb paralyzed; 4, both hind limbs paralyzed; 5, hind limbs paralyzed, weakness in forelimbs; 6, moribund.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
