Hierarchy of effects of the MHC and T cell receptor beta-chain genes in susceptibility to Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced demyelinating disease

Intracerebral inoculation of susceptible mice with Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus induces a demyelinating disease that is similar to human multiple sclerosis. This murine model for human multiple sclerosis is apparently immune-mediated and the genes involved in the immune response influence the outcome of disease susceptibility as observed with human multiple sclerosis. These genes include the MHC and TCR genes. However, the functional relationships among these genes on the disease susceptibility has not yet been studied. In this study, we demonstrate that the effect of the H-2s genotype from susceptible SJL/J mice overrides the resistant effect of the BALB/c TCR beta-chain gene in CXJ recombinant-inbred and BALB.S congenic mice. These results strongly suggest the presence of a hierarchy of genes involved in the immune response in Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced demyelinating disease.
