Link with antibodies offers new insight into MS diagnosis

[MSUK]

Researchers at Immco Diagnostics and the State University of New York have reported in the journal PLoS One that the frequency of specific auto reactive antibodies does not differ between patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and people without the condition — a finding that could lead to improvements in diagnosis. The study is entitled “Humoral Responses to Diverse Autoimmune Disease-Associated Antigens in Multiple Sclerosis...... Read More - http://www.ms-uk.org/immunecells

the concept is probably more complicated than what has been assumed.

over 90% of people is EBV infected, that can clearly not be the issue.

the EBV and herpes may prime the cells. transgenic cells are healthy until something happens. that something may be a toxic element.

in combination with a high load of EBV B-cells, cross reaction may then get things out of control.

therefore the concepts is not simple, non-linear. and difficult to grasp for the human mind which thinks linear.
