Abstract

The article examines the reflection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibody levels in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) disease activity in multiple sclerosis and as EBV treatment response biomarkers. The study indicates the relation of higher anti-EBNA-1 immunoglobulin G levels to increased MRI activity.
