What Does EAE Stand For?
EAE stands for Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model commonly used in research to study multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system. EAE is induced by the administration of myelin-derived peptides and adjuvants, leading to immune-mediated inflammation, demyelination, and neurological deficits. This model provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of autoimmunity, disease progression, and potential therapeutic interventions.
