          Epstein-Barr Virus Antibodies Linked to Multiple Sclerosis Progression

          Researchers have discovered a new link between the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). Their study revealed that certain antibodies, originally aimed at fighting EBV, can mistakenly target proteins in the brain and spinal cord, leading to MS symptoms. This antibody misdirection was found in roughly 23% of MS patients studied. The findings highlight the need for personalized therapies to combat MS.

          How Epstein-Barr Virus Triggers Multiple Sclerosis

          Around 25% of patients with multiple sclerosis have blood antibodies that bind to the Epstein-Barr virus and EBNA1, a protein made in the brain and spinal cord. Researchers say this is the first study to definitely show that the Epstein-Barr virus can cause multiple sclerosis in some patients.

          Schizophrenia Linked to Abnormal Immune Response to Herpes Virus that Causes Mono

          A new study reports people with schizophrenia have higher levels of antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus, a herpes virus that causes mononucleosis. Researchers propose two explanations for the link to the heightened immune response to the virus: schizophrenia may alter the immune system, making patients more susceptible to EBV, or EBV may increase the risk of developing schizophrenia.
