Multiple Epstein‐Barr Virus Strains in Patients with Infectious Mononucleosis: Comparison of Ex Vivo Samples with In Vitro Isolates by Use of Heteroduplex Tracking Assays

Abstract excerpt

Recent work using a heteroduplex tracking assay (HTA) to identify resident viral sequences has suggested that patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM) who are undergoing primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection frequently harbor different EBV strains. Here, we examine samples from patients with IM by use of a new Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 2 HTA alongside the established latent membrane protein 1 HTA....
