Rats dying acutely of experimental auto‐immune encephalomyelitis show very meagre histological signs of the disease in routine histology sections. This cannot be explained by postmortal changes. It is suggested that the infiltrating lymphoid cells seen in the central nervous system of surviving rats are involved in the normally occurring self‐limitation of the disease.
