Abstract |
Here we present evidence for previously unappreciated B-cell immune dysregulation during acute EBV-associated infectious mononucleosis (IM). Longitudinal analyses revealed that patients with acute IM have undetectable EBV-specific neutralizing antibodies and gp350-specific B-cell responses, which was associated with a significant reduction in memory B-cells and no evidence of circulating antibody-secreting cells. These observations correlate with dysregulation of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-family members BAFF and APRIL and increased expression of FAS on circulating B-cells. |
