19846875 Nizri E, Irony-Tur-Sinai M, Lory O, Orr-Urtreger A, Lavi E, Brenner T: Activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory system by nicotine attenuates neuroinflammation via suppression of Th1 and Th17 responses. J Immunol. 2009 Nov 15;183(10):6681-8. Epub 2009 Oct 21.

In vivo, administration of nicotine (2 mg/kg s.c.) suppressed the severity of CD4 (+) T cell-mediated disease experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. alpha7 (-/-) mice were refractory to nicotine treatment, although disease severity in those animals was reduced, due to impairment in Ag presentation.
