Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a member of the Herpes family of virus and is one of the most common viruses in humans. The virus occurs globally and causes infectious mononucleosis. Most individuals become infected with EBV and develop adaptive immunity, with the majority of adults between the ages of 35 and 40 having been infected. The virus has been implicated as having a primary role in multiple autoimmune diseases, several lymphoproliferative disorders and cancers, particularly Hodgkin’s disease and Burkitt’s lymphoma. Many children become infected with EBV once maternal antibody protection disappears, however these infections usually do not result in symptom development. During adolescence the virus will cause mononucleosis in up to 69% of infections

Storage Conditions
The EBV TaqMan PCR Kit Dx is shipped on dry ice. The components of the kit should be frozen upon arrival. If one or more of the components is not frozen when the kit is received, or if any of the components have been compromised during shipment, please contact Norgen Biotek for assistance. All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 3 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
