Infection with an Endemic Human Herpesvirus Disrupts Critical Glial Precursor Cell Properties
19 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), a common resident virus of the human CNS, has been implicated in both acute and chronic inflammatory--demyelinating diseases. Although HHV-6 persists within the human CNS and has been described to infect mature oligodendrocytes, nothing is known about the susceptibility of glial precursors, the ancestors of myelin-producing oligodendrocytes, to viral infection. We show that HHV-6...
