Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection may be necessary for the development of Multiple sclerosis (MS). Earlier we had identified six MS risk loci that are co-located with binding sites for the EBV transcription factor Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen 2 (EBNA2) in EBV-infected B cells (lymphoblastoid cell lines - LCLs). METHODS: We used an allele-specific chromatin immunoprecipitation PCR assay to assess...
