Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis, Rat

  • Chapter
Nervous System

Part of the book series: Monographs on Pathology of Laboratory Animals ((LABORATORY))

Abstract

At the injection site in the foot pad a chronic ulcerative lesion develops due to the adjuvant, and the regional popliteal lymph node is grossly enlarged. If supportive care is provided, most animals recover from acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and the extent of the central inflammatory process decreases gradually.
