COVID-19 and Epstein-Barr cause inflammatory shock in children

March 20, 2025
By Mar de Miguel
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a serious disorder that develops after SARS-CoV-2 infection, could arise from latent infection of another pathogen, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the German Rheumatology Research Center (DRFZ) have linked the inflammatory effect of this co-infection with transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), ruling out the possibility that MIS-C is caused by an autoimmune reaction, or persistence of the coronavirus in the body.

Genes and Epstein-Barr virus immune response increase MS risk

March 17, 2025
By Mar de Miguel
A combination of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies and genetic factors may be linked to an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study led by scientists at Karolinska Institutet and Stanford University. “The Epstein-Barr virus has been a suspect for many years for having a role in causing MS. The evidence for it has increased though one has not really reached complete proof of its role,” Tomas Olsson told BioWorld.

Gp350‑targeted CAR T-cell therapy exhibits preclinical efficacy in EBV-positive Burkitt lymphoma

Feb. 27, 2025
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the herpesvirus family, is a highly common human pathogen that can remain latent in B lymphocytes after the primary infection. Although this latent state is frequently asymptomatic, in some cases, it can lead to the development of malignancies such as Burkitt lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and some gastric cancer subtypes.

In multiple sclerosis, deep cervical lymph nodes show an EBV-like pattern

Feb. 25, 2025
By Coia Dulsat
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is a recognized risk factor that is now regarded as a prerequisite for the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Recently, significant advances have been made in clarifying the precise mechanism by which EBV leads to the pathogenic features of MS. Now, a new study may have tied up more loose ends. Researchers from the University of Helsinki have mapped the immune landscape of deep cervical lymph nodes (dCLN) in patients recently diagnosed with MS.

Inhibiting metabolic enzyme prevents EBV-driven disease

May 28, 2024
By Anette Breindl
Treatment with indoleamine dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) inhibitors reduced both viremia and B cell transformation in animal models of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), while IDO1 up-regulation occurred in patients who would go on to develop PTLD. The findings, which were reported in the May 24, 2024, issue of Science by researchers from the University of Basel and the University Hospital Basel, point to new ways to predict, prevent and treat complications of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection.

Allovir dumps triple-phase III posoleucel for futility

Dec. 22, 2023
By Randy Osborne
What Piper Sandler analyst Christopher Raymond called the “shocking” decision by Allovir Inc. to scrap development of posoleucel – which had advanced to three phase III trials – for all indications sent shares of the firm (NASDAQ:ALVR) in a tailspin, closing Dec. 22 at 76 cents, down $1.56, or 67%.

Ebviously presents in vitro data on EBV vaccine candidate

Dec. 4, 2023
Ebviously GmbH, a spin-off from Helmholtz Munich (HMGU), has presented new in vitro data for its Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) vaccine candidate EBV-001. Based on noninfectious virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from EBV, EBV-001 is designed as a highly immunogenic, multiantigen vaccine to prevent EBV-associated diseases, such as infectious mononucleosis.
