Abstract excerpt
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) induces a demyelinating disease in susceptible strains, which clinically and histopathologically resembles human multiple sclerosis. Since bacterial LPS produced by Gram-negative bacteria is known to potentiate an immune response and trigger resident central nervous system cells to produce various inflammatory cytokines, we examined the ability of LPS to affect...
