SJL mice are immunized with PLP peptide, to induce an autoimmune response. Lymph node cells are further exposed to the autoantigen in vitro and then injected to another set of SJL mice for passive induction (“transfer”) of EAE.  The clinical course, neuro-inflammation, tissue injury and T cell responses are measured, as in other EAE models.
