Abstract excerpt
Neuropathogenic isolates of lactate dehydrogenase virus (LDV) differ from non-neuropathogenic isolates in their unique ability to cause a paralytic disease (age-dependent poliomyelitis, ADPM) in immunosuppressed C58 and AKR mice by cytocidally infecting their anterior horn neurons. We have recent...
