Abstract excerpt
Ts1 Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMuLV) is a neurovirulent retrovirus that causes a progressive, noninflammatory, spongiform, neurodegenerative disease in mice. The temporal localization of cellular targets for virus replication and the genesis of ultrastructural spongiform changes in the central nervous system (CNS) of CFW/D mice inoculated at birth with neurovirulent ts1 MoMuLV and nonneurovirulent wild type...
