A virus plays a role in multiple sclerosis. Naming which one took 50 years. The virus behind mono was the long-standing suspect. In a cohort of more than 10 million, researchers found MS risk rose 32-fold after Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. They then profiled antibodies against a broad viral panel, and EBV was the only virus that tracked. Suspicion narrows the candidates. An unbiased survey names the virus. Antibody reactomics is built on that logic: hundreds of thousands of potential antibody-antigen interactions, deciphered from a drop of blood, so a signal you never hypothesized still surfaces.
