Abstract

Autoimmune cross-reaction of specific antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been associated with development of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this issue of Cell, Vietzen et al. identify additional immunological regulatory mechanisms that protect against autoimmunity in healthy people but are reduced in MS cases. The results confirm the link between EBV and MS.
