Researchers have found a way to detect persistent Epstein-Barr virus directly from routine blood-based genome sequencing, bypassing the antibody tests that have defined EBV diagnostics for decades.

The immune system's reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus can ultimately damage the brain and contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), according to new research from Karolinska Institutet, published ...

The results of preclinical research headed by a team at Karolinska Institutet have indicated how T cells that play a role in the immune system’s reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can ...

Some types of CD8+ T cells (killer T cells) may play a role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). This is according to data from a new study published in Nature Immunology. Specifically, ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the immune system erroneously attacks a protective insulation that surrounds neurons, known as myelin. As myelin degenerates, it leads to a variety of ...
