Sex differences in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in multiple murine strains
Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is more prevalent in women than men. We evaluated seven different mouse strains commonly used in the study of autoimmune diseases, for sex differences in the disease course of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Greater severity of EAE was observed in the female SJL immunized with two different peptides of myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) as well as in the female ASW relative to males. Female NZW mice showed a greater incidence of EAE than males. However, male B10.PL and PL/J mice showed more severe disease than females. No sex differences were noted in the C57BL/6 or NOD strains.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
