Abstract: Over 90% of human beings live, for all of their lives, in peaceful equilibrium with Epstein-Barr virus, which infects the immune system's B cells in particular. The proliferation of infected cells is kept under control by T cells, but sometimes this control breaks down and leads to diseases such as X-linked immunoproliferative syndrome. The cause, it turns out, is mutation of a small protein involved in T-cell regulation.
