title: Prolonged suppression of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in the Lewis rats: the effect of lipopolysaccharides.
abstract: The current investigations have revealed that Lewis rats preimmunized with BP in CFA, and after recovery from the first episode of EAE, developed a second mild attack of EAE after challenge with BP/CFA at specified times. However, preimmunization of Lewis rats with BP complexed to LPS in CFA protects animals for a longer time from a second attack induced by BP/CFA challenge.
