Comparison of Epstein Barr virus antibodies and Tcell cytokines production in patients with multiple sclerosis and healthy individuals
Abstract Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common autoimmune disease of central nervous system with destruction of myelin sheath mediated by auto reactive CD4+ T Lymphocytes. Because of the possible role of Epstein-Barr virus in etiology of MS and T cells immune response, the aim of this study was to evaluate anti-Epstein Barr virus antibodies as a marker of reactivity and p...

متن کاملEpstein–Barr virus in the multiple sclerosis brain: a controversial issue—report on a focused workshop held in the Centre for Brain Research of the Medical University of Vienna, Austria
Recent epidemiological and immunological studies provide evidence for an association between Epstein-Barr virus infection and multiple sclerosis, suggesting a role of Epstein-Barr virus infection in disease induction and pathogenesis. A key question in this context is whether Epstein-Barr virus-infected B lymphocytes are present within the central nervous system and the lesions of patients with...

Background & Aim: Multiple sclerosis(MS) is the most common inflammatory disease of central nervous system which is caused by an autoimmune process leading to destruction of myelin sheath. In this disease, CD4+ T–lymphocytes, mostly of TH1 phenotype, play important roles in destruction of neuronal tissues. Because of the probable etiologic participation of EBV virus in immunopathogenesis o...
