Abstract
C58 mice (aged greater than or equal to 5 months) are susceptible to age-dependent polioencephalomyelitis, a paralytic central nervous system disease induced by lactic dehydrogenase virus. Susceptibility results from the loss of protective T cells. Data are presented showing a positive correlation between the age-related loss of Lyt-1,2 cells and the development of susceptibility to neuroparalytic lactic dehydrogenase virus infection.
