Theiler's viruses have been known for many years to cause an encephalomyelitis in mice (1, 2), and have been classified in the picornavirus family (3). The DA strain of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis viruses (TMEV)'can cause a biphasic central nervous system (CNS) disease in mice (4): acute polioencephalomyelitis and/or chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease, depending on the dose and strain of the virus and genetic background of the mouse. The former is clearly the result of direct viral cytopathic effects, while the pathogenesis of the latter is under intense exploration.The CNS disease induced by TMEV is an animal model for human demyelinating diseases, including post-infectious encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis (4-6). Both direct viral (7-10) and immune-mediated (11-13) mechanisms affecting oligodendrocytes and/or myelin have been proposed to initiate inflammatory events within the CNS, leading to the chronic demyelination. Immune-mediated mechanisms include an:" innocent bystander" theory; immunologic injury to oligodendrocytes infected with virus; and virus-induced autoimmune events (5, 6, 14, 15). Autoimmune events may be induced by sensitization to myelin antigens that are secondarily released by viral infection of oligodendrocytes, or induced by the presence of a common epitope between virus and myelin components resulting in crossreactive immune response. We have proposed a mechanism in which viruses may initiate or enhance autoimmune diseases by possessing common or crossreacting determinants (molecular mimicry) with self components (16). In earlier studies, we found that mAbs to viral pro-
