🔬 Study finds Epstein-Barr virus triggers multiple sclerosis by mimicking brain protein, causing immune system attack 🧠💥 Part of the EBV virus looks like a protein in the brain/spinal cord, so the immune system targets both the virus and the body's own cells, damaging the nerves. This breakthrough could lead to new MS treatments. #MultipleSclerosis #EpsteinBarrVirus #MedicalResearch #Neurology

News CenterStudy identifies how Epstein-Barr virus triggers multiple sclerosisA new study found that part of the Epstein-Barr virus mimics a protein made in the brain and spinal cord, leading the immune system to mistakenly attack the body’s nerve cells.

New research suggests MS may be caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Possibly in the future, we’ll be able to prevent MS, as inoculations against HPV are now protecting a generation from cervical cancer, or as shingles vaccines help those of us who were exposed to chicken pox as kids avoid shingles as we age.

Specific Immune Response to Epstein-Barr Virus Discovered:
Medical science has not yet been able to explain why the Epstein-Barr virus triggers infectious mononucleosis in some people with initial infections and not in others. But now, a research team has identified a specific immune response to the virus as the cause, and as a potential target for the development of vaccine!
