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

Document: Primary infection of transgenic mice with LCMV led to CNS infiltration by CD8 Ï© and CD4 Ï© T cells, at a ratio of ‫.1:5Ù‬ This was not surprising, because the primary T cell response to LCMV is mediated by CD8 Ï© cells (13, 14) . However, no obvious damage to oligodendrocytes was observed after a single LCMV infection of transgenic mice. After a second viral infection of the transgenic mice, the proportion of CD4 Ï© T cells increased relative to the number of CD8 Ï© T cells (CD8 Ï© /CD4 Ï© , 2:1). Focal areas of myelin degradation were observed (Fig. 4) , and expression of both MHC class I and class II molecules was found on oligodendrocytes (Horwitz, M.S., C.F. Evans, and M.B.A. Oldstone, manuscript submitted for publication). These findings suggest that CD8 Ï© and/or CD4 Ï© T cells may interact directly with oligodendrocytes and play a role in oligodendrocyte injury. In addition, the total number of infiltrating T cells in the CNS increased three-to fivefold after a second infection with LCMV. Other models of autoimmune diseases have shown that the number of self-reactive T cells influences the development of disease (44) (45) (46) , so it is possible that the myelin damage seen after a second LCMV in-fection was a result of the increased numbers of infiltrating T cells.
