Immune responses in experimental allergic neuritis

R A Hughes, M Kadlubowski, I A Gray

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |July 1, 1981

    Summary

    Cell-mediated immunity to P2 protein is key in experimental allergic neuritis (EAN) in rats. This immune response, rather than antibodies, drives the disease, offering insights into neuritis pathogenesis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimmunology
    • Autoimmune Diseases

    Background:

    • Experimental Allergic Neuritis (EAN) is an animal model for inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies.
    • The roles of antibody and cell-mediated immunity in EAN pathogenesis are not fully elucidated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the antibody and cell-mediated immune responses in Lewis rats with EAN.
    • To determine the primary immunopathogenic mechanism in EAN induced by P2 protein or whole myelin.

    Main Methods:

    • Induction of EAN in Lewis rats using P2 protein or whole bovine nerve root myelin.
    • Assessment of antibody responses via radioimmunoassay and complement fixation.
    • Evaluation of cell-mediated immunity through skin testing and passive transfer with lymph node cells.

    Main Results:

    • Cell-mediated immunity and antibodies to P2 preceded EAN onset in P2-immunized rats.
    • Myelin-immunized rats showed delayed and lower antibody titers, with transient skin test reactivity.
    • Complement-fixing antibodies to galactocerebroside were undetectable.
    • EAN was passively transferred via lymph node cells, independent of detectable anti-P2 antibodies in recipients.

    Conclusions:

    • Cell-mediated immune response to P2 is the predominant pathogenetic mechanism in EAN induced by whole myelin.
    • Antibodies to P2 and galactocerebroside play a minor role in EAN pathogenesis in this model.
