Epstein-Barr virus, frequently referred to as EBV, is a member of the herpesvirus family and one of the most common human viruses. Although the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis usually resolve in 1 or 2 months, EBV remains dormant or latent in a few cells in the throat and blood for the rest of the person′s life. Periodically, the virus can reactivate and is commonly found in the saliva of infected persons. This reactivation usually occurs without symptoms of illness. EBV also establishes a lifelong dormant infection in some cells of the body′s immune system.

Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a newly recognized systemic fibroinflammatory disease with characteristic histological findings and high serum IgG4 levels. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a persistent herpesvirus in B lymphocytes, and we previously reported EBV reactivation-induced Ig production. We

NK cells have been reported to respond against EBV-infected B cells in the lytic cycle and to control the viral infection involving IFN-γ secretion. Early reports proposed a role for NK cell Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) triggered via FcγR-IIIA (CD16)

Autophagy is an intracellular degradation pathway that provides a host defense mechanism against intracellular pathogens. However, many viruses exploit this mechanism to promote their replication. This study shows that lytic induction of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) increases the membrane-bound form of
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous virus that infects most adults latently. It persists in B lymphocytes and reactivates occasionally. Graves' disease is an autoimmune hyperthyroidism caused by thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAbs). We have reported that Graves' disease patients and
