Description: Clone CS2 is one of four clones to EBV. Each clone reacts with different epitopes on the hydrophilic C-terminus of the cytoplasmic domain of LMP-1. This antibody is specific to 60kDa latent membrane protein (LMP-1) encoded by the BNLF1 gene of the EBV. It stains strongly with EBV-positive lymphoblastoid cell lines and EBV infected B cell immunoblasts in infectious mononucleosis. EBV, also designated human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), is a member of the herpesvirus family and is one of the most common human viruses. EBV infects B cells and, though often asymptomatic, it can cause infectious mononucleosis, a disease characterized by fatigue, fever, sore throat and muscle soreness.

Immunogen: Recombinant fusion protein containing the sequence of bacterial beta-galactosidase and the carboxyl half of EBV-encoded LMP was used as the immunogen for the Epstein-Barr Virus antibody.

Storage: Store the Epstein-Barr Virus antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
