- Description: Anti-EBNA2 [PE2] is mouse monoclonal antibody to Epstein Barr Virus Encoded Nuclear Antigen (EBNA) 2. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpes virus and one of the most common viruses in humans. The EBNA 2 protein acts as a transcriptional activator of several viral and cellular genes. This antibody recognises a shared epitope between the EBNA 2A and 2B proteins. EBNA2 expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma biopsies was studied more extensively with anti-EBNA2. The EBNA 2-specific mAb PE2 is particularly valuable as it recognises the two alternative forms of this antigen, EBNA 2A and 2B.
- Immunogen: Recombinant fusion protein against EBNA2. The immunogen was a beta-gal fusion protein from plasmid pKH-2A10 that contains aa 341-480 of B95.8 type EBNA2A (Fig 4 - Young et al. 1989).

- Myeloma used: P3X63Ag8.653
- Recommended controls: Immunohistochemistry (Acetone fixed): EBV positive Raji cell Line. Western blotting: B95-8 cell

- Target background: The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), also called Human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), is a virus of the herpes family and is one of the most common viruses in humans. EBNA2 is one of the few genes of Epstein-Barr virus which are necessary for immortalisation of human primary B lymphocytes. EBV is associated with several B-cell lymphomas and epithelial nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The EBNA2 protein acts as a transcriptional activator of several viral and cellular genes. There are two alternative forms of EBNA2: EBNA2A and EBNA2B.
