Abstract The experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) model is used for preclinical research into the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), mostly in inbred, specific pathogen free (SPF)-raised laboratory mice. However, the naive state of the laboratory mouse immune system is considered a major Krista G. Haanstra, S. Anwar Jagessar and Anne-Laure Bauchet contributed equally to the study. Che Serguera and Bert A. ’t Hart share senior authorship.
