This was on the news here years ago.

Highlights • Six human mAbs target five distinct sites on EBV gH/gL • Some of these antigenic sites match sites of vulnerability on other herpesviruses • Each mAb neutralizes EBV infection and blocks virus-cell fusion • mAb 769B10 inhibits viremia and prevents lymphoma in an animal EBV...

A panel of investigational monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting different sites of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) blocked infection when tested in human cells in a laboratory setting. Moreover, one of the experimental mAbs provided nearly complete protection against EBV infection and lymphoma...

My M.E onset was a sudden viral vertigo attack. I've had vertigo issues ever since (31 years). I think I might have contracted Covid a little over 2 years ago, it started with vestibular sickness and vertigo. I'm still dealing with this but it's seems to be resolving itself slowly...

Association between the side effect induced by COVID-19 vaccines and the immune regulatory gene polymorphism, 2022, Ding-Ping Chen People often worry about the side effects after vaccination, reducing the willingness to vaccinate. Thus, we tried to find out the risk of single nucleotide...

Perhaps it's not too surprising given that rapa is an immunosuppressant, but it raises questions about long-term use.

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection in immunocompromised individuals is associated with prolonged virus shedding and evolution of viral variants. Rapamycin and its analogs (rapalogs, including everolimus, temsirolimus, and ridaforolimus) are FDA-approved as mTOR inhibitors for the treatment of human...

A local woman experiences breathlessness after her 4 jab recently. Is breathlessness a side effect?

Abstract Metabolic adaptation to viral infections critically determines the course and manifestations of disease. At the systemic level, a significant feature of viral infection and inflammation that ensues is the metabolic shift from anabolic towards catabolic metabolism. Systemic metabolic...

I don't doubt that persistent Lyme disease spirochete may have lingering consequences on the CNS, but an autopsy might be the only way to prove it. Enterovirus was found in the brain tissue of a pwME in a study. All blood tests showed negative.
