We compared CNS disease following intracerebral injection of SJL mice with Daniel's (DA) and BeAn 8386 (BeAn) strains of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV). In tissue culture, DA was more virulent then BeAn. There was a higher incidence of demyelination in the spinal cords of SJL/J mice infected with DA as compared to BeAn. However, the extent of demyelination was similar between virus strains when comparing those mice that developed demyelination. Even though BeAn infection resulted in lower incidence of demyelination in the spinal cord, these mice showed significant brain disease similar to that observed with DA. There was approximately 100 times more virus specific RNA in the CNS of DA infected mice as compared to BeAn infected mice. This was reflected by more virus antigen positive cells (macrophages/microglia and oligodendrocytes) in the spinal cord white matter of DA infected mice as compared to BeAn. There was no difference in the brain infiltrating immune cells of DA or BeAn infected mice. However, BeAn infected mice showed higher titers of TMEV specific antibody. Functional deficits as measured by Rotarod were more severe in DA infected versus BeAn infected mice. These findings indicate that the diseases induced by DA or BeAn are distinct.

D010948 Viral Plaque Assay Method for measuring viral infectivity and multiplication in CULTURED CELLS. Clear lysed areas or plaques develop as the VIRAL PARTICLES are released from the infected cells during incubation. With some VIRUSES, the cells are killed by a cytopathic effect; with others, the infected cells are not killed but can be detected by their hemadsorptive ability. Sometimes the plaque cells contain VIRAL ANTIGENS which can be measured by IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE.

D011051 Poliomyelitis An acute infectious disease of humans, particularly children, caused by any of three serotypes of human poliovirus (POLIOVIRUS). Usually the infection is limited to the gastrointestinal tract and nasopharynx, and is often asymptomatic. The central nervous system, primarily the spinal cord, may be affected, leading to rapidly progressive paralysis, coarse FASCICULATION and hyporeflexia. Motor neurons are primarily affected. Encephalitis may also occur. The virus replicates in the nervous system, and may cause significant neuronal loss, most notably in the spinal cord. A rare related condition, nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis, may result from infections with nonpoliovirus enteroviruses.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
