Figure 1Severity of EAE in IFN-γ GKO and WT mice. WT (
n = 27) C57BL/6 mice (IFN-γ
+/+, open circles) and IFN-γ GKO (
n = 21) mice (IFN-γ
–/–, closed circles) were immunized under the same experimental conditions on day 0 with the encephalitogenic peptide of MOG (residues 35–55). Pertussis toxin (200 ng/mouse) was administered i.v. on the day of immunization and 2 days later. The mice were monitored daily and scored clinically as described in Methods. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments.
