Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and normal subjects were tested for cellular hypersensitivity, using the leukocyte migration inhibition test LMI), to a parainfluenza-1-virus (6/94), previously isolated from brain biopsy tissue of an MS patient. The response of MS patients as a group was not greater...
