Is Coxsackievirus B3-Induced Myocarditis in A/J Mice Mediated by an Autoimmune Response to Cardiac Myosin?

  • Conference paper

  • 73 Accesses

Abstract

The possible postinfectious nature of certain autoimmune diseases has gained considerable interest during recent years. Several diseases, inculding diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis, have been attributed to virus-induced autoimmunity [1, 2], although a cause-and-effect relationship has not been directly demonstrated.
