Abstract
Cryostat sections of spinal cord of guinea pigs with chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (CREAE) were stained with monoclonal antibodies recognising a Strain 13-specific Ia epitope, a non-strain-specific Ia antigen and an 'activated' macrophage determinant. It was found that both Ia antigens and the 'activated' macrophage determinant, observed on infiltrating cells within both perivascular and menigeal compartments, appeared to be modulated during the course of CREAE. This correlated with the neurological symptoms of the disease. Blood vessels and 'glial' cells expressed both Ia determinants. 'Glial' cells also expressed the 'activated' macrophage antigen. These antigens were modulated with the course of the disease. © 1987.
