Area of Science:

  • Veterinary science
  • Neuroscience research
  • Animal welfare science

Background:

  • Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a key animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS) research.
  • The use of animal models necessitates adherence to ethical guidelines, including the Three Rs: replacement, reduction, and refinement.
  • Previous guidelines may not fully address the specific welfare challenges in EAE research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide practical guidance for implementing the Three Rs in EAE research.
  • To emphasize refinement strategies for immediate application in animal studies.
  • To identify and address specific welfare issues and suffering in EAE models.

Main Methods:

  • Convened an expert working group of veterinarians, animal care staff, and scientists.
  • Compiled discussions and submissions from experts in the field.
  • Reviewed existing literature and identified key welfare concerns in EAE models.

Main Results:

  • Identified specific welfare issues associated with EAE induction and progression.
  • Proposed practical measures for refining procedures to minimize animal suffering.
  • Highlighted general refinement principles applicable across various EAE protocols.

Conclusions:

  • Refinement offers the most immediate potential for improving animal welfare in EAE research.
  • Implementation of proposed measures can reduce animal use and suffering.
  • This report serves as a practical resource for enhancing ethical standards in preclinical MS research.
