Acute experimental allergic neuritis (EAN) of Lewis rats was monitored by clinical and electrophysiological tests for 60 days. Sciatic nerve myelin proteins were analyzed by quantitative microgel electrophoresis and electroimmunoblotting at different clinical stages of the disease. The clinical severity of EAN and the demyelination as measured by electrophysiological tests and myelin protein concentrations in sciatic nerve did not correspond during the course of the disease. Demyelination reached its peak after partial clinical recovery and was still present on day 60. The major peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin proteins P0, P1 and P2 decreased at different rates during the course of the disease, indicating possible differences in their proteolytic degradation. Treatment with Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA) alone resulted in alterations of membrane and myelin protein patterns challenging the widely held belief that pure CFA is inert with regard to demyelination.
