Abstract

The development of Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis (EAE), an auto-immune disease directed against the central nervous system, causes a marked increase of serum contained alpha globulins. Serum with elevated alpha globulins decreases the uptake of 3H-thymidine into mitogen stimulated normal or immune lymphocytes. The increased alpha globulin levels and immunosuppressive activity parallel the development of clinical signs.
