Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis viruses causing both fatal encephalitis (GDVII virus) and chronic demyelinating disease (WW virus) are capable of replicating in isolated Schwann cell cultures. Light microscopy combined with immunohistochemical staining of viral antigens revealed that large numbers of Schwann cells infected with the two viruses show cytopathic effect (rounding) and contain viral antigens. Electron microscopy of virus-infected Schwann cells shows that the morphological alterations that the cells undergo following infection by the two virus isolates are different. In the early stages of GDVII and WW virus infection, different inclusion bodies are formed in the cells cytoplasm. At late stages of the infection GDVII virions are found in all infected cells and are arranged in crystalline arrays around inclusion bodies. In contrast, in WW virus-infected Schwann cells only in few cells virions were observed and they appeared aligned between two membrane units.
