EBV-Induced Expression and HLA-DR-Restricted Presentation by Human B Cells of αB-Crystallin, a Candidate Autoantigen in Multiple Sclerosis
1999-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The development of multiple sclerosis is most likely influenced by autoimmune responses to central nervous system myelin proteins as well as by infections with common viruses such as EBV and human herpesvirus-6. However, much remains to be established on how these factors interact. In this study, we show that upon EBV infection, human B cells start to express αB-crystallin, a small stress protein that was...
