Decreased CD8(+ )T cell response to Epstein-Barr virus infected B cells in multiple sclerosis is not due to decreased HLA class I expression on B cells or monocytes

BACKGROUND: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a decreased frequency of CD8(+ )T cells reactive to their own Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infected B cells. We have proposed that this might predispose to the development of MS by allowing EBV-infected autoreactive B cells to accumulate in the cent...
