« The team discovered that people with lupus had 1 in 400 B cells infected with EBV instead of the 1 in 10,000 rate found in people without the condition. And while the virus usually remains dormant, it can push autoreactive B cells to create a viral protein called EBNA2, which then can kick-start the immune system to start attacking healthy tissues. »
