Mutation of a major histocompatibility class I locus, H-2D, leads to an increased virus burden and disease susceptibility in Theiler's virus-induced demyelinating disease.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic studies have demonstrated that susceptibility to Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV)-induced demyelinating disease is multigenic with linkage to the MHC class I locus, H-2D. We have analyzed the effect of mutations (H-2bm13 and H-2bm14) in the H-2Db gene on central nervous system (CNS) virus replication, virus-specific delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and disease induction in mutant...
