          How a Common Virus Triggers Brain Attacks in Multiple Sclerosis

          New research highlights a critical link between antibodies produced against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Scientists discovered that these viral antibodies mistakenly target a protein called GlialCAM in the brain, triggering autoimmune responses associated with MS.

          Epstein-Barr Virus Plays Critical Role in Multiple Sclerosis

          Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) may cause multiple sclerosis (MS) through higher levels of immune cross-reactivity than previously thought. Researchers found that T-cells targeting EBV can also recognize brain proteins, a misdirection seen in both MS patients and healthy individuals.

          Blood Test Predicts Multiple Sclerosis Years Before Symptoms Appear

          Researchers identified a specific pattern of autoantibodies in the blood that precedes the clinical onset of multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially paving the way for early diagnosis and treatment. Their study found that 10% of MS patients displayed a unique set of autoantibodies against both human proteins and common pathogens like the Epstein-Barr Virus years before showing symptoms.

          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.
