The cerebrospinal fluid in visna, a slow viral disease of sheep. 1978

D E Griffin, and O Narayan, and J F Bukowski, and R J Adams, and S R Cohen

The temporal development of the CSF abnormalities was examined in visna, a chronic neurological disease caused by a persistent viral infection of sheep. Two types of changes were observed. During the first 30 to 40 days there was an intense mononuclear pleocytosis associated with high protein and proportionately elevated IgG. Later, there was a persistent slight pleocytosis associated with mildly elevated protein which had an increased proportion of IgG and antivisna antibody. These later cellular and protein changes are similar to those found in a number of chronic neurological diseases of man.

D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D011021 Pneumonia, Progressive Interstitial, of Sheep Chronic respiratory disease caused by the VISNA-MAEDI VIRUS. It was formerly believed to be identical with jaagsiekte (PULMONARY ADENOMATOSIS, OVINE) but is now recognized as a separate entity. Maedi,Progressive Interstitial Pneumonia of Sheep

D002556 Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteins Proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid, normally albumin and globulin present in the ratio of 8 to 1. Increases in protein levels are of diagnostic value in neurological diseases. (Brain and Bannister's Clinical Neurology, 7th ed, p221) Proteins, Cerebrospinal Fluid,Fluid Proteins, Cerebrospinal
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
