Endogenous retroviral genes, Herpesviruses and gender in Multiple Sclerosis

@TuBotijoTuitero @jesusagUerog Quién sabe. Parece que el virus del herpes está asociado a una mayor expresión de retrovirus endógenos. https://t.co/nOgSSNOWVr

@PeterKolchinsky Do you know what a retrovirus even is? https://t.co/8a3IMatsrI Can you tell me why a vaccine that targets antigen-presenting cells as it's method of action for instigating B and T cell reactions wouldn't cause this response?

4/18 Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERV's) are retrotransposons which entered most mammalian germ lines millions of years ago via infectious events. Over the course of evolution, such insertions of HERV's have accumulated and simultaneously co-evolved. ht
