AB Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a model of T-cell
mediated autoimmune disease. Active disease is mediated by myelin basic
protein specific CD4+ T-cells, whose adoptive transfer can also induce
passive disease. In the Lewis rat EAE is a transient disease inducing
lasting resistance to rechallenge. The mechanisms of recovery and
resistance are poorly understood. CD8+ suppressor T-cells have mostly
been thought to be central, especially in resistance to reinduction of
the disease. In this study we showed by complete depletion of CD8+ cells
that this subset does not influence either recovery or resistance to EAE
in the Lewis rat. This was further confirmed by depleting CD8+ cells
only after recovery from acute EAE. Such depletion did not diminish the
effective resistance to rechallenge. Recovery from and resistance to EAE
appear not to require the presence of CD8+ cells.
