Agent |
Human gammaherpesvirus 4 (HHV-4) |
Strain |
HR1 (clone of P3) |
Common Name |
Epstein-Barr virus |
Applications |
The virus is not detected by PCR primers targeting EBNA-2, EBNA-3 regions or by immunofluorescence for anti-VCA and anti-EBNA. Virus was detected by monoclonal antibody against EBNA-1 from Chemicon cat# MAB8173. |

vapor phase of liquid nitrogen |
Comments |
The cells are persistently infected with Human herpesvirus 4 (formerly Epstein-Barr virus, EBV). The HR-1 strain of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has a deletion in the EBNA2 gene. The virus is not detected by PCR primers targeting EBNA-2, EBNA-3 regions or by immunofluorescence for anti-VCA and anti-EBNA. Virus was detected by monoclonal antibody against EBNA-1 from Chemicon cat# MAB8173. |
