| Description |
Infection of mice with neurovirulent strains of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) is used as a model for virus induced demyelination that mimics many pathologic features of multiple sclerosis. A significant incidence of optic neuritis occurs in mice infected with a demyelinating strain of MHV (MHV-A59), but not with the nondemyelinating strain, MHV-2. Mechanisms underlying this differential induction of optic neuritis are not known. |
