Multiplesclerosis (MS) is a common chronic inflammation which causes progressive disability due to the demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS).
The antibodies made against myelin in multiple sclerosis cross-reacts with the proteins made by the EpsteinBarrvirus and thus, EBV has been implicated in the development of multiple sclerosis.
Epstein Barr virus itself is a DNA containing Herpes virus.
The nitrogenous base sequence of the DNA is responsible for carrying the genetic information needed to code for proteins and many features of multicellular organisms.
