Abstract

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis is an induced inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system widely used as an animal model for multiple sclerosis. New insights into its pathophysiology have been possible due to recent immunological concepts. New therapeutical approaches have been designed and tested in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and are now entering the clinical setting.
