Abstract:
A novel and rapid EBNA-1 titration method has been developed which uses immunoprecipitation of specific DNA-protein complexes with EBNA-1-positive serum. The method is more sensitive than the conventional immunofluorescence method and has potential value as a diagnostic reagent for clinical laboratories. TPA induction of putative anti-EBNA-1 protein of cellular origin is discussed, which may play a key role for the shift from latent to lytic replication of EBV.
