Supplemental Figure % Incidence of EAE 1 7 1 1 Time after immunization (d) S1PR1(SA) mice showed higher incidence and early onset of EAE compared to C7BL/6J (WT) mice following FTY7 treatment. MOG 3- -immunized C7BL/6J (WT) and mice carrying phosphorylation defective S1PR1 (S1PR1(SA)) (females, 8-1 weeks) were treated with either vehicle (1% cyclodextrin in PBS) or FTY7 (.mg/kg) by daily intraperitoneal injections. Mice were followed clinically throughout EAE disease course. n= 1-1 mice/arm.

FTY7 treatment decreased lymphocyte counts in the spleens of both WT and S1PR1(SA) EAE mice. MOG 3- -immunized C7BL/6J (WT) and S1PR1(SA) EAE mice were treated with vehicle (1% cyclodextrin in PBS) or FTY7 (.mg/kg) at the day of immunization by daily i.p injection. Splenocytes were isolated at D8 post-immunization. (A) Immune cells proliferation in response to ex vivo MOG 3- reactivation was measured by [ 3 H] thymidine incorporation (c.p.m., counts per minute). The numbers of CD3 + (B), CD + (C), CD8 + (D), and CD11b + (E) cells were quantified by flow cytometry. The cell number was calculated by multiplying the total viable cell number of splenocytes by the percentage of gated cells. Cells were stimulated with PMA (ng/ml) and ionomycin (ng/ml) for h and intracellular staining was performed to measure IL-17A (F, I), IFN-γ (G, I), and FOXP3 (H) expression among CD + T cells. CD + T cells were isolated from splenocytes of MOG 3- -immunized EAE mice at D8. The expression of IL-17A RNA transcripts (J) in the CD + T cells was analyzed by SyBrGreen quantitative PCR and normalized to β-actin. (n= per group, Mean± SEM, p<., ANOVA analysis with Turkey s multiple comparison test).
Supplemental Figure A B C D E F G H I J Gating strategy of CNS immune cells by multi-dimensional flow cytometry (A) CD low and CD hi cells were gated from live leukocytes. CD hi cells were gated to CNSinfiltrating myeloid cells (CD hi CD11b + ) and CD3 + cells (B). CD3 + cells were then gated to CD + and CD8 + T cells (C). CD low cells were gated to microglia cells (CDl o CD11b + ) (D). Infiltrating myeloid cells (CD hi CD11b + ) were further gated to neutrophils/monocytes (CD hi CD11b + Gr1 + ) (E), dendritic cells (CD hi CD11b + CD11c + ) (F), eosinophils (CD hi CD11b + SiglecF + ) (G). The effector functions of CD + T cells were gated by CCR6, IL- 17A, IFN-γ, and FOXP3 markers (H-J).

Immune cells from the brains and spinal cords were collected when EAE clinical scores reached -3. Numbers of CD hi (A), CD3 + (B), CD + (C), CD8 + (D) cells and percentage of CD8 + (E) cells were quantified by flow cytometrty. The cell number was calculated by multiplying the total viable cell number of splenocytes by the percentage of gated cells.
