It has long been speculated that viruses share cross-reacting determinants with their host self-components. Not until recently could this be directly demonstrated by using monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) and by making direct protein sequence comparisons. This concept of shared common determinants has been the basis for understanding the mechanisms of virus-induced autoimmunity. The encephalomyelopathies following virus infection and other human demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, may be explained by the generation of cross-reacting immune responses between viruses and central nervous system (eNS) components. These immune responses would be responsible for the histopathologic and clinical changes observed in individuals with these diseases (FUJINAMI and OLDSTONE, 1986, 1987) and typical of encephalopathies that follow viral infections, particularly infection with measles virus. However, virus is rearely recovered from the eNS, and its presence does not correlate with occurrence of disease (MILLER et al. 1956; AARLI 1974; ApPLEBAUM et al. 1949); thus direct, virally caused tissue destruction is unlikely.
