Abstract excerpt
B cells of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) are more responsive to IFN-γ, corresponding to their brain-homing potential. We studied how a coding single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in IFNGR2 (rs9808753) co-operates with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection as MS risk factors to affect the IFN-γ signaling pathway in human B cells. In both cell lines and primary cells, EBV infection positively associated with...
