Rare immune events link Epstein Barr virus to early multiple sclerosis damage
Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of ...
The immune system's reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus can ultimately damage the brain and contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS). This is shown ...

Epstein-Barr virus together with a gene variant contributes to onset of multiple sclerosis
One of the leading triggers for multiple sclerosis (MS) is an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. However, certain gene variants also play an important role. Researchers at the University of Zurich ...
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infected and reprogrammed autoreactive B cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to become activated antigen-presenting cells. EBV-infected B cells in ...
