The EBV-specific CD8+ T-cell response was studied with the pentamer technology in 43 HD and 113 patients (79 untreated and 34 treated) with relapsing-remitting MS who were selected according to their HLA genotype (HLA-A*0201 and/or HLA-B*0801) (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene CD8A and Huntington disease.
