Immune response profiling of HERV-W envelope proteins in multiple sclerosis: potential biomarkers for disease progression by Stefano Ruberto, Stefano Ruberto, María I. Domınguez-Mozo, M. Angel Garcıa-Martınez, Davide Cossu, Davide Cossu, Leonardo A. Sechi, Leonardo A. Sechi, Roberto Alvarez-Lafuente

“…In vitro, stimulation with pHERV-Wenv 486-504 led to a notable increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine production by CD4, CD8, and CD19 cells compared to syncytin-1env 486-500. A strong correlation was found between pHERV- Wenv 486-504 induced cytokine production and EBV and CMV titers in MS patients.DiscussionThese findings suggest that the pHERV-W envelope protein could be a valuable biomarker for monitoring peripheral inflammation in MS.…”
