Intracisternal virus-like particles in brain of a multiple sclerosis patient

R Tanaka et al. J Neurol Sci. 1976 May.

Abstract

Doughnut-shaped particles, 55-65 nm in diameter, were revealed by electron microscopy in the cisterns of the rough endoplasmic reticulum of cells from an active lesion in autopsied brain tissue from a multiple sclerosis patient. The morphology of the particles closely resembled that of coronaviruses.
