On the origin of a pathogenic HERV-W envelope protein present in multiple sclerosis lesions [Biological Sciences]

We read with great interest the recent article by Kremer et al. showing that an envelope (ENV) protein encoded by human endogenous retrovirus type W (HERV-W) is present in myeloid cells in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, as detected by mouse monoclonal antibody GN-mAB_03 (3B2H4) directed against HERV-W ENV (1).
