During the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the proportion of pathogenic and myelin-specific cells within CNS-infiltrating cytokine-producing Th cells is unknown. Using an IL-17A/IFN-γ double reporter mouse and I-A(b)/myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 38-49 tetramer, we show in this study that IL-17(+)IFN-γ(+) Th cells, which are expanded in the CNS during EAE, are highly enriched in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-specific T cells. We further demonstrate tha ...[more]
