Term:
percentage of study population displaying acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis at a point in time
The number of individuals in a study population which display experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) at a certain point in time compared to the total number of individuals in the study population, expressed as a percentage. 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. Acute EAE is a variant of EAE having a short, monophasic timecourse of symptoms which are usually severe, followed by complete and stable recovery.
