Abstract excerpt
Theiler's virus persistently infects the white matter of the spinal cord in susceptible strains of mice. This infection is associated with inflammation and primary demyelination and is studied as a model of multiple sclerosis. The H-2D gene is the major gene controlling viral persistence. However, the SJL/J strain is more susceptible than predicted by its H-2(s) haplotype. An (SJL/J x B10. S)F1 x B10.S backcross...
