Simultaneous Presence of Endogenous Retrovirus and Herpes Virus Antigens Has Profound Effect on Cell-Mediated Immune Responses: Implications for Multiple Sclerosis

Retroviruses have been suggested as possible pathogenic factors in multiple sclerosis (MS), supported by the observation that endogenous retroviruses are activated in MS patients. Different members of the herpes family of which several are neurotropic have also been suggested as factors in MS pathogenesis.
