General Information
Biological Significance
Epstein Barr virus, frequently referred to as EBV, is a member of the herpesvirus family and one of the most common human viruses. The virus occurs worldwide, and most people become infected with EBV sometime during their lives. For infection diagnosis, the viral capsid antigen, the early antigen, and the EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA) are used. In addition, differentiation of immunoglobulin G and M subclasses to the viral capsid antigen can often be helpful for confirmation.
