title: Altered immune function in demyelinative disease.
abstract: Experimentally induced demyelination has an autoimmune origin in some mouse models and is somehow virally induced in others. In June, invited participants in a Kroc Foundation workshop discussed the damaging mechanisms involved and their relevance to an understanding of multiple sclerosis and human encephalomyelitis.
