Term:
percentage of disease population developing relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis during a period of time
The number of new cases of relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (R-EAE) appearing in a study population of individuals that already have experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis during a certain period compared to the total number of individuals in that already-diseased study population, expressed as a percentage. R-EAE is an animal model of brain inflammation in which inflammation is induced through immunization of the animal with central nervous system antigens or by the passive transfer of autoreactive T cells where such induction results in a disease characterized by repeated symptomatic attacks followed by complete or almost complete improvement.
