Pathogenic immunity in Theiler's virus-induced demyelinating disease: a viral model for multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis involves inflammatory immune responses in the central nervous system (CNS) and is considered as an autoimmune disease potentially associated with viral infection. The majority of experimental models rely heavily on the autoimmune components since similar diseases can be induced following immunization with various myelin antigens. A very attractive alternative model is the The...
متن کاملMelanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 is critical for protection against Theiler's virus-induced demyelinating disease.
Infection of dendritic and glial cells with Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) induces various cytokines via Toll-like receptor- and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5)-dependent pathways. However, the involvement and role of MDA5 in cytokine gene activation and the pathogenesis of TMEV-induced demyelinating disease are largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate t...
متن کاملCD154 blockade results in transient reduction in Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced demyelinating disease.
Transient CD154 blockade at the onset of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced demyelinating disease ameliorated disease progression for 80 days, reduced immune cell infiltration, and transiently increased viral loads in the central nervous system. Peripheral antiviral and autoimmune T-cell responses were normal, and disease severity returned to control levels by day 120.
متن کاملT helper cell- and CD40-dependent germline IgM prevents chronic virus-induced demyelinating disease.
Generation of antiviral IgM is usually considered as a marker of a short-lived initial antibody response that is replaced by hypermutated and more-efficient IgG. However, once viruses have established a particular niche for their persistence (e.g., within the CNS), the immune system has to specifically mobilize a broad range of antimicrobial effectors to contain the pathogen in the long term. I...
متن کاملCentral nervous system chemokine expression during Theiler's virus-induced demyelinating disease.
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus is an endemic murine pathogen that induces a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system in susceptible mouse strains. The disease is characterized by central nervous system mononuclear cell infiltration and presents as chronic, progressive paralysis. The expression of CC and C-x-C chemokines in the central nervous system of Theiler's murine ence...
