Peptide Tools to Study EBV
About EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus)
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV or HHV-4) belongs to the family of Herpesviridae and is known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis. Being able to establish a long-term, latent infection in human B cells, it is prevalent in the adult population (worldwide 90%).
EBV is associated with a range of human diseases and cancers:
- Hodgkin’s and Burkitt’s lymphoma
- Nasopharyngal carcinoma
- Main cause of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) in immune suppressed transplant patients
- Increases the risk of certain autoimmune diseases, e.g. lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis
- Plays a role in the development of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
The latent EBV Antigens
During latent infection EBV expresses a small number of genes (e.g. EBNA1 -3 and LMP1 -2). Three major types of latency can be differentiated by their distinct expression patterns and are associated with the various types of diseases and cancer. Both, humoral and cellular (mainly CTL) immune responses play a role in controlling the primary and the latent phases of EBV infection.
