Abstract excerpt
Although neurovirulent mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) strain JHMV multiplies in a variety of brain cells, expression of its receptor carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM 1) (MHVR) is restricted only in microglia. The present study was undertaken to clarify the mechanism of an extensive JHMV infection in the brain by using neural cells isolated from mouse brain. In contrast to wild-type (wt)...
