It has been shown that an autoimmune reaction against CNS tissue can lead to 6hronic relapsing demyelination as seen in chronic experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) whereas the role of a virus infection in the induction of such a condition has not so far been directly demonstrated (McFarlin et al. After virus infection in rats inflammatory disseminating CNS lesions of marked demyelination develop accompanied by clinical signs of a subacute disease after varying incubation times. The induction of a progressive demyelinating, or relapsing demyelinating, disease process, in JHM virus-infected rats has ~me parallels to chronic EAE, an animal model based on sensitation ~8ainst CNS tissue extracts or myelin basic protein (McFarlin et al. ./cache/cord-272981-8gahvdt0.txt ./txt/cord-272981-8gahvdt0.txt
