Synopsis "inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system: international congress of neuropathology, vienna, september 5 10, 1982 (in English)"
The present report, compares two murine models of virus induced chronic relapsing demyelination. MHV-induced demyelination in the BALB/c mouse results from the direct virus mediated cytolysis of oligodendrocytes. Extensive remyelination by oligodendrocytes is noted. Recurrent demyel- ination occurs in small areas. Infectious virus persists and 34 Fig. 2: Demyelination in SJL/J mice infected with TMEV.

TMEV-induced demyelination in SJL/J mice is asso- ciated with perivascular inflammatory infilrates and is dimin- ished by immunosuppressive measures. Remyelination by oligo- dendrocytes is delayed and incomplete. Chronic demyelination is widespread and associated with perivascular inflammatory infiltrates. The virus persists and viral antigen is local- ized within oligodendrocytes.
