Scientists Create New Antibody For Virus That Infects 95% of People
Reported byScienceAlert ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and University of Washington developed antibodies targeting two proteins on Epstein-Barr virus particles; in mouse models, one antibody showed promising protection against EBV infection. The virus infects 95% of adults and has been linked to cancers, multiple sclerosis, and other severe complications.
The work is in mouse models with humanized immune systems; human clinical trials would be required to confirm safety and efficacy.
