Title: Viral Infection of Transgenic Mice Expressing a Viral Protein in Oligodendrocytes Leads to Chronic Central Nervous System Autoimmune Disease Document date: 1996_12_1
ID: t82a9y5s_2
Snippet: We have developed a transgenic mouse model to examine whether molecular mimicry between a virus and a protein expressed in oligodendrocytes can lead to central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune disease. In this model system, transgenic mice were generated that express a viral protein exclusively in oligodendrocytes. Adult transgenic mice were then infected with a virus that encoded the same gene, did not infect the CNS, and was quickly cleared by t.....
Document: We have developed a transgenic mouse model to examine whether molecular mimicry between a virus and a protein expressed in oligodendrocytes can lead to central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune disease. In this model system, transgenic mice were generated that express a viral protein exclusively in oligodendrocytes. Adult transgenic mice were then infected with a virus that encoded the same gene, did not infect the CNS, and was quickly cleared by the host immune response. These mice were examined to determine whether the virus-induced immune response could result in an autoimmune attack against the viral transgene product expressed in oligodendrocytes, leading to CNS disease.
