  • Title: Studies on acute disseminated encephalomyelitis produced experimentally in rhesus monkeys.
    Author: KABAT EA, WOLF A, BEZER AE.
    Journal: J Exp Med; 1948 Oct 01; 88(4):417-26. PubMed ID: 18884901.
    Abstract:
    The factor in brain tissue which induces acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, when injected into rhesus monkeys as an emulsion with adjuvants, has been found in human, monkey, rabbit, and chicken brain but is absent from frog and fish brain. It is unaffected by fixation of the brain in formalin, by boiling, and by treatment with ultrasound. It is present in the spinal cord of 3 day old rabbits but does not appear in the rabbit cerebrum until about the 12th day of life; in this respect it parallels the laying down of myelin. Attempts to produce the encephalomyelitis passively with large quantities of serum or of cell exudates, and suspensions of cells from spleen and lymph node from monkeys with encephalomyelitis, were unsuccessful.
