Abstract excerpt
Intracerebral infection with Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus produces chronic immune-mediated demyelination in susceptible strains of mice. We examined the role of Ig in the pathogenesis of demyelination. In susceptible SJL/J mice (H-2s), suppression of B cell responses with IgG fraction of goat anti-mu (anti-mu IgG) from birth resulted in increased numbers and severity of demyelinating lesions in the...
