TABLE 1. Spinal cord and brain pathology in TMEV-infected mice at 40 and 180 dpi.

Data are expressed as the percentage of spinal cord quadrants showing the pathological abnormality (mean ± standard error).

Klk6 12 56.3 ± 4.1 46.9 ± 4.1 0.97 ± 0.1

Significantly lower pathology scores in mice with Klk6-neutralizing antibodies were observed relative to immunization control groups at 40d but not at 180d post-TMEV infection
