Abstract excerpt
Theiler's virus, a murine picornavirus, persists in the central nervous system of susceptible mouse strains and causes chronic inflammation and primary demyelination.

However, it is generally assumed that picornaviruses do not induce CTL. In point of fact, their existence has only...
