EBV is one of the most common viruses in the world. Over 90% of people get it at some point in their lives. Most people catch ...

EBV encodes at least two proteins that inhibit apoptosis. The EBV BHFR1 protein is a homologue of the human bcl-2 protein, which also blocks apoptosis, 44 whereas EBV LMP-1 up-regulates the ...

A new study found that part of the Epstein-Barr virus mimics a protein made in the brain and spinal cord, leading the immune ...

Mechanism For Epstein-Barr Virus Protein's Role In Blood Cancers Discovered Date: December 23, 2005 Source: University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Summary: Earlier this year, researchers at ...

Other viruses didn’t raise the chances of MS. Only one person who developed MS remained EBV-negative. The team also looked at changes in the neurofilament light chain (NF-L). That’s a protein ...

What’s more, the researchers found that blood concentrations of a nervous system protein that is a signal of nerve damage rose after Epstein-Barr virus infection, before an MS diagnosis.

Attacking a protein in the brain Everyone affected by the neurological disease MS, where the immune system attacks the brain ...

Based on previous research, they decided to focus on one particular protein found throughout the brain and body that could be mistaken for EBV, called CRYAB. Among other functions, CRYAB is ...

EBV is a ubiquitous human lymphotropic γ-herpesvirus ... the cell cycle and apoptosis – apparently mediated by direct protein–protein interaction, transcriptional deregulation and ...

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is our constant companion, infecting an estimated 90%-95% of adults. Many of us are first infected as children, when the germ may trigger cold and flu symptoms.

“This approach, in which many copies of the EBV protein are displayed on a single particle, has proved successful for other vaccines, including the HPV and hepatitis B vaccine.” Moderna’s ...
