Abstract excerpt
Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) A59 infection which causes acute encephalitis, hepatitis, and chronic demyelination, is one of the experimental models for multiple sclerosis. Previous studies showed that lethal infection of beta2-microglobulin 'knockout' (beta2M(-/-)) mice required 500-fold less virus and viral clearance was delayed as compared to infection of immunocompetent C57Bl/6 (B6) mice. To investigate the...
