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.

B) Perivascular inflammatory infiltration within the white matter of the spinal cord (22 days post infec tion). Paraphenylene diamine stain. X600. C) Localization of TMEV associated antigen in the cytoplasm of oligodendrocytes (45 days post infec tion). Vibratome section stained with the peroxidase-anti peroxidase technique. X 400. D) Immunoperoxidase staining of viral antigen within inner and outer loops of an oligodendrocyte (45 days post infectin) X 60,000. E) Longitudinal section showing viral antigen within Schmidt-Lanterman incisures (80 days post infection). X 49,000. viral antigens are localized within oligodendrocytes and their processes. 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.
