Brain infection of C57BL/6 (B6) mice with Theiler's virus (TMEV) induces epilepsy.
We examined the response of two B6 substrains to three different TMEV (sub)strains.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used for correlations.
Early and late seizures were observed with DA and a BeAn substrain of TMEV virus.
Markers of hippocampal inflammation and neurodegeneration correlated with ictogenesis.
