Abstract
Summary
Previously described methods of transferring allergic encephalomyelitis in commercially available randomly bred, albino rats sensitized to nervous tissue plus adjuvant, entailed use of parabiosis or pretreatment of recipients with normal spleen cells of prospective sensitized lymph node cell donors. Further study indicates that the disease may be transferred using lymph node cells of splenectomized donors sensitized to nervous tissue and either intact or splenectomized recipients. Splenectomy of only the recipient does not appear to facilitate transfer of the disease.
