Experimental Animals Are Immunized to Protein Fragments Derived from Peripheral

Experimental animals are immunized to protein fragments derived from peripheral nerve myelin.  Subsequent analysis finds evidence of a T-cell response as well as production of autoantibodies against nonprotein antigens.  This leads to segmental demyelination of peripheral nerves in the animals.  The experimentally induced condition is most analogous to which of the following?

A) Duchenne muscular dystrophy
B) Guillain-Barré syndrome
C) Lambert-Eaton syndrome
D) Neuropathic beriberi
E) Subacute combined degeneration
F) Werdnig-Hoffman syndrome
