Enhanced EBNA2-dependent activity in EBV-transformed B cells from patients with multiple sclerosis

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system affecting 2.8 million people worldwide. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to MS risk, with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection being an important environmental factor. To better clarify the role of EBV in MS, we examined its impact on gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and transcription factor bi...
