Development of protective autoimmunity by immunization with a neural-derived peptide is ineffective in severe spinal cord injury.

Protective autoimmunity (PA) is a physiological response to central nervous system trauma that has demonstrated to promote neuroprotection after spinal cord injury (SCI). To reach its beneficial effect, PA should be boosted by immunizing with neural constituents or neural-derived peptides such as A9...
