Experimental allergic neuritis (EAN) is considered the in vivo model of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and has been extensively studied in the Lewis rat. Both cellular and humoral components of the immune response are implicated in the inflammatory demyelination of peripheral nerves that characterizes EAN. The recognition ofCampylobacter jejuniinfection as a frequent antecedent event in GBS, and in particular its association with anti-ganglioside antibodies and a primary axonal neuropathy, has raised many questions about the specific disease mechanisms involved. WhileC. jejunican produce an acute motor neuropathy in chickens, confirming the relationship betweenC. jejuniinfection and acute neuropathy, no detailed information is available from this animal model. Insights from experimental studies relating to the effector phase of Lewis rat EAN that may be relevant toC. jejuni-induced GBS are discussed.
