2022年2月1日 · Infection with Epstein-Barr virus dramatically increased the odds of developing multiple sclerosis. The finding suggests that vaccines against the virus could help prevent …

2022年8月5日 · Here we review the evidence that EBV is a causal agent for MS and how various risk factors may affect EBV infection and immune control. We focus on EBV contributing to MS through...

A new study found that part of the Epstein-Barr virus mimics a protein made in the brain and spinal cord, leading the immune system to mistakenly attack the body's nerve cells.

2025年3月12日 · Certain immune cells in MS show abnormalities in activity and signs of reactions against the Epstein-Barr virus, a study says.

2023年2月9日 · In this Review, we discuss the evidence linking EBV to the development of MS and the mechanisms by which the virus is thought to cause the disease. Furthermore, we discuss implications for the...

2024年6月2日 · Strong evidence shows that viruses can trigger the process, especially Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This research may guide scientists toward new and better ways to treat or …

2025年3月11日 · New research highlights a critical link between antibodies produced against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the development of multiple sclerosis (MS).

3 天之前 · A SIGNIFICANT proportion of multiple sclerosis (MS) cases are driven by antibodies targeting the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that mistakenly attack the brain protein GlialCAM, with genetic risk factors amplifying this autoimmune response. This breakthrough clarifies the long-suspected link between EBV ...

2 天之前 · The risk of developing MS and other demyelinating diseases is 3 times greater in individuals diagnosed with EBV-positive IM.

5 天之前 · Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with MS; up to 3.3% people with MS are EBV nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA1)-seronegative compared with 6.0% controls. 1 EBV serology is complex, and multiple antigens are required to assess seropositive status. 2, 3 We examined a cohort of seemingly EBV-negative patients with clinically isolated ...
