Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human herpes viruses (HHV) have been implicated in dementia. Class II Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) play a critical role in host protection from foreign antigens including herpes viruses through stimulating antibody production against them. In the present study we investigated the in silico binding affinity of 9 H HV to three Class II HLA alleles that have been found to protect against dementia:...
