Abstract excerpt
To study the effect of SV40 large T-antigen expression in myelin-forming cells of both the central and peripheral nervous system, a series of transgenic mice were generated expressing the SV40 large T-antigen under control of the myelin basic protein (MBP) promoter. Two neurologic phenotypes, designated A and B, appeared among individual transgenic founders and their progeny. The A mice developed a severe action...
