    Snippet: Effects of LCMV Infection of Transgenic Mice. Transgenic positive and negative mice from the two MBP-NP and two MBP-GP lines ( Fig. 1 C ) , bred to the F2-F4 level, were infected peripherally with LCMV. After i.p. infection of immunocompetent mice with LCMV, viral replication occurs in many tissues and cell types, but not within the CNS (14, 30) . This was confirmed by in situ hybridization studies using LCMV-specific riboprobes after i.p. infect.....
    Document: Effects of LCMV Infection of Transgenic Mice. Transgenic positive and negative mice from the two MBP-NP and two MBP-GP lines ( Fig. 1 C ) , bred to the F2-F4 level, were infected peripherally with LCMV. After i.p. infection of immunocompetent mice with LCMV, viral replication occurs in many tissues and cell types, but not within the CNS (14, 30) . This was confirmed by in situ hybridization studies using LCMV-specific riboprobes after i.p. infection of transgenic mice (data not shown). Clearance of LCMV in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice normally occurs within 7-14 d after infection and is mediated by a vigorous CD8 Ï© CTL response (13, 14, 31) . When assessed by plaque assays of serum samples, transgenic positive mice cleared virus with the same kinetics as transgenic negative mice.
