  1. Summary of experimental results obtained from EAE mice treated prophylactically with E2 or therapeutically with E2, IndCl, or IndCl analogues organized by category and marker assayed. Cells containing. ‘+’ indicate marker was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased in treatment group relative to vehicle. ‘−’ indicates marker was significantly decreased in treatment group relative to vehicle; and ‘o’ indicates no change as compared to vehicle treated groups; §adjacent to a marker indicates differential performance between IndCl and one or more IndCl analogue. #Indicates differential performance between analogues.
