Unraveling EBV's Role in MS

This chapter examines the unexpected connection between the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and multiple sclerosis (MS), highlighting recent studies that suggest EBV may be a necessary factor in MS development. It delves into the immunological mechanisms, specifically the role of antibodies and B cells, that contribute to this condition, while also addressing EBV's potential links to other autoimmune diseases. The discussion emphasizes the ongoing research aimed at understanding the complexities of EBV's impact on the immune system and disease pathology.
