Abstract excerpt
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) induces immune-mediated demyelination in susceptible strains of mice, providing an excellent model for multiple sclerosis. Class I genes within the major histocompatibility complex locus (H-2D region) play a major role in determining whether strains of mice develop chronic demyelination and TMEV persistence. B10.D2dml mice with deletion in the 3' end of Dd and the...
