Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice is dependent upon the use of B. pertussis suspensions as an adjuvant. I.v. administration of B. pertussis causes an increased vascular permeability in brain tissue and an increased vascular sensitivity to vasoactive amines which promotes the development of EAE. The efficacy of different batches and strains of B. pertussis in the expression of EAE closely correlates with the vasoactive amine sensitization activity of each material tested. Pertussigen, the histamine sensitizing factor (HSF), is responsible for these adjuvant properties whereas purified endotoxin is inactive. The effect of cimetidine, diphenhydramine, methysergide, reserpine and cyproheptadine on B. pertussis induced histamine sensitivity and the expression of EAE are examined. Cyproheptadine, an agent with mixed histamine and serotonin blocking properties, blocks both B. pertussis-induced vasoactive amine sensitization and the expression of EAE.
