James F. Mowbray is a British doctor and professor of immunopathology who was affiliated with St Mary's Hospital Medical School in London. He is well known for co-editing a textbook[1] on myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) as well as for his work[2][3][4] on developing an enterovirus antigen assay using the 5D8/1 monoclonal antibody against enterovirus VP1. This assay was previously used to demonstrate the presence of viral protein in the blood and brain tissue of British ME patients, and more recently has been used by Dr. John Chia to demonstrate viral presence in various tissues and organs of United States ME patients.
