Funded Activity Summary

Epstein-Barr Virus and Human Cytomegalovirus are common viruses present in more than 50% of the adult population. They have a major impact on the human immune system, stimulating large numbers of T cells that are essential to control the persistent viral infection. Generally, these viruses cause few problems; however, an unfortunate minority suffer major life threatening clinical problems. There has also been some evidence for a role of EBV infection in the pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis.
