Antibodies titres and MSRV env expression. (a) IgM antibody titres against HHV-6A/B were significantly higher in P-MS compared to P-HC during both pregnancy and postpartum. (b) Considering P-MS, IgM antibody titres against HHV-6A/B were higher in those who suffered relapses during postpartum compared to those who did not. (c) MSRV env expression prevalence was higher in P-MS than in P-HC during the first trimester of pregnancy. (d) Moreover, MSRV env expression prevalence was significantly higher in P-MS who suffered relapses during pregnancy compared to those who did not.
