Adaptive natural killer cell response to cytomegalovirus and disability progression in multiple sclerosis.

Mult. Scler.. 2016 May;22(6):741-52, PMID: 26362897

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) causes a highly prevalent infection which may have a multifaceted impact on chronic inflammatory disorders. However, its potential influence in multiple sclerosis (MS) remains controversial. The HCMV-host interaction may induce an adaptive reconfiguration of the natural killer (NK) cell compartment, whose hallmark is a persistent expansion of peripheral NKG2C+ NK-cells.
