"Experiments of Nature" and the New Era of Immunology: an historical perspective.

abstract：:Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a T cell mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that serves as a model for multiple sclerosis (MS). Insights into the pathogenesis of this model may help scientists understand the human disease and aid in rational drug discovery. In this re...
