Post-translational modifications of autoantigens are hypothesized to affect their immunogenicity. We here report that nitration of tyrosine 40 in Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) abrogates its encephalitogenicity both at protein and peptide levels in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model in H2
