SWR/J mice are susceptible to immune-mediated central (CNS) demyelination following infection by Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV). SWR/J susceptibility is genetically dominant, when outcrossed to resistant H-2b strains. Non-H-2 differences between C57BL/6 and C57L/J (both H-2b) alter effects of 'susceptibility' genes, especially H-2q, from SWR/J. Genetic analysis of differential susceptibility to demyelination between SWR/J and C57L/J indicates that one copy of H-2q is sufficient for disease, and that SWR/J mice carry a non-H-2 gene which can lead to disease in the absence of H-2q. Differential susceptibility between SWR/J and C57BL/6 is determined by a single non-H-2 locus, which may or may not be the same as that differing between SWR/J and C57L/J.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

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.
