Virus-induced diabetes mellitus. V. Biological differences between the M variant and other strains of encephalomyocarditis virus

M E Ross et al. Infect Immun. 1975 Nov.

Abstract

The M variant of encephalomyocarditis virus is very closely related serologically to five other strains of encephalomyocarditis virus. Despite the serological relationship, these five viruses differ markedly from the M variant in their tissue tropisms and only the M variant infects beta cells of the pancreas, producing diabetes.
