title: Myelination inhibition factor: dissociation from induction of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.
abstract: Sensitization of guinea pigs with purified myelin basic protein induces experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) but does not induce a serum factor which inhibits myelin formation in vitro. This factor, induced by some unidentified constituent of whole central nervous system tissue, should not be characterized as a component of "EAE serum."
