Summary

Preventing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, particularly infectious mononucleosis (IM), through vaccination is key to preventing multiple sclerosis (MS). An EBV vaccine could significantly reduce MS incidence by targeting a necessary precursor infection.

Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens

The immune system's response to viral infections is a complex and coordinated process involving natural killer (NK) cells, T cell-mediated responses, and antibody-mediated responses.
NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
