Characterization of coronavirus JHM variants isolated from wistar furth rats with a viral-induced demyelinating disease 1989-03-31 .txt text/plain 5838 301 56 One of these variants, ATIIf cord virus, which induced a chronic demyelinating disease in 2or 10-day-old intracerebrally inoculated Wistar Furth rats, had a deletion in the coding region of the peplomer glycoprotein mRNA. In this report, we investigated viral variants that arose in the CNS of rats with a JHM-induced demyelinating disease and studied the effect of alterations in their mRNAs. When lo-day-old rats were inoculated with ATllf brain virus or ATlIe brain virus, the rats developed a rapid encephalitis instead of the more chronic demyelinating disease that has previously been seen with wild-type parental JHM virus (Sorensen et al., 1980; Jackson et al., 1984) and was observed with ATIIf cord virus-injected rats. In contrast, when 2-day-old rats were inoculated with ATllf cord virus, the more chronic CNS disease resulted instead of the rapid encephalitis that has been reported for wild-type JHM (Sorensen et a/., 1980; Parham et a/., 1986) and was observed with the ATIIf brain virus variant. ./cache/cord-310967-15mv5yx7.txt ./txt/cord-310967-15mv5yx7.txt
