Often expressed as a percentage but could be expressed as a ratio. 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. Chronic EAE is a variant of EAE characterized by a long duration and slow, constant progression. CMO:0001891 For disease characterized by repeated symptomatic attacks followed by complete or almost complete improvement, use the term for relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
