Abstract
Intracerebral inoculation of mice with tissue culture-adapted TO strains of Theiler's mouse encephalomyelitis viruses results in a clinical disease consisting of spastic paralysis due to demyelination after a lengthy incubation period. Thus, in effect, these ordinary picornaviruses are capable of causing a slow infection in their natural host, the mouse. In addition, through the use of tissue culture-adapted virus stocks, virus content in mouse tissues now can be accurately quantified by standard plaque assay.Entities:
