EBV seroconversion and rising titers of EBNA-1 predict MS onset. Finally EBNA-1 antibodies correlate with disease activity and brain damage. MS patients have a dysregulated EBV-specific CD8 + T ...

One mechanism by which EBV has been linked to SLE is molecular mimicry. Research shows that some antibodies to Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1), an EBV protein, cross-react with double ...
