Abstract

Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an autoimmune disease in mice which serves as a model for multiple sclerosis in humans [4,5]. The disease constitutes the direction of immunity towards myelin, an insulatory material that covers neurons. The consequential damage to the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to paralysis and death [6].
