Scientists have recently discovered that those with multiple sclerosis carry antibodies against this infectious agent, and that its T cell receptors appear to be remarkably conserved.  Generally designated HHV-4, it infects B lymphocytes where it remains latent after infection.  A member of the herpesviruses, it causes such conditions as oral hairy leukoplakia and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.  Perhaps more famous for causing such diseases as Hodgkin's disease and Burkitt's lymphoma, FTP, identify this virus type named after its two English discoverers, best known for causing mononucleosis.
