[Prevention of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in guinea pigs by treatment with magnetophores].

Subcutaneous application of magnetophores with a field intensity of 210 ersted prevented the development of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in guinea-pigs. The magnetophores appeared efficacious both at the beginning of the induction period and in the second half of the latent period, i.e. within the first two weeks after injection of encephalitogenic suspension. Application of magnetophores after the appearance of the neurological signs of EAE was ineffective. Magnetophores did not affect cellular or humoral response in animals. It may be assumed that the effect of magnetophores is related to the increased resistance of nerve cells to the immunopathological action of the immune response factors, a topic for further studies.
