Myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein (MOG)-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in rats reproduces major aspects of the human pathology (Weissert et al., 1998b; Storch et al., 1998; Kornek et al., 2000; Weissert, 2016). The gene discussed is OMG; the disease is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
