CSF changes during acute meningoencephalitis in mice caused by encephalomyocarditis virus.

Abstract

Encephalomyelitis was induced in mice by intravenous inoculation with encephalomyocarditis virus. Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid revealed marked pleocytosis and increased amounts of protein, including immunoglobulins. These proteins entered the cerebrospinal fluid by transfer from serum during the period of central nervous system infection.
