Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the properties, pathology, epizootiology,
diagnosis, control, and prevention of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCM) …

Infection with virus variants exhibiting changes in the peptide sequences defining
immunodominant determinants that abolish recognition by antiviral cytotoxic T cells (CTL) …

Exposure of weaned hamsters to an environment contaminated with LCM virus shed by
tolerantly infected mice led to short subclinical infections. If infection occurred in early …

Defective-interfering (DI) lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) prevented disease in
the central nervous system produced by standard LCMV. Standard LCMV injected into …

Abstract Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) are both
neurotropic RNA viruses, which can establish a persistent infection and cause meningitis …

The response of mice of four different strains to infection by various routes with lymphocytic
choriomeningitis (LCM) virus has been compared. In general, mice of the Walter and Eliza …

One hypothesis for the etiology of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune disease is that
infection by a virus sharing antigenic epitopes with CNS antigens (molecular mimicry) elicits …

The immune response against lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) was studied in a
mutant mouse strain that does not possess CD8+ T lymphocytes. Virus-specific cytotoxic T …

Intracerebral inoculation of neonatal rats with LCM virus resulted in varying extents of central
nervous system parenchymal pathology dependent upon host age at infection and upon …

Summary and Conclusions Freshly isolated strains of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus
induced inapparent infection and immunity in infant mice. A mouse-adapted strain, however …
