Pathogenesis of acute and chronic central nervous system infection with variants of mouse hepatitis virus, strain JHM 2007-06-01 .txt text/plain 6288 297 37 Infection of mice with variants of mouse hepatitis virus, strain JHM (MHV-JHM), provide models of acute and chronic viral infection of the central nervous system (CNS). Partially protective anti-viral immune responses may result in persistent infection and chronic demyelinating disease characterized by myelin removal from axons of the CNS and associated with dense macrophage/microglial infiltration. Demyelinating disease during MHV-JHM infection is immune-mediated, as mice that lack T lymphocytes fail to develop disease despite succumbing to encephalitis with high levels of infectious virus in the CNS. Demyelinating disease induced during MHV-JHM infection is partly immune mediated, as mice lacking the ability to generate T cell responses fail to develop demyelination, despite high viral loads and widespread inflammation in the CNS of infected mice [19, 20] . Further studies involve introduction of other chemoattractants into recombinant MHV-JHM, to evaluate their role in demyelinating disease, cell recruitment, generation of immune responses, and clearance of infectious virus in MHV-JHM-infected mice. ./cache/cord-334499-fz7vrnb1.txt ./txt/cord-334499-fz7vrnb1.txt
