Patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex often show symptoms of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation. Several EBV-encoded trans-acting factors activate the EBV lytic cycle, and one, called ZEBRA (BamHI Z EBV replication activator), controls the switch of EBV from a latent to a productive cycle. We describe here a simple ELISA test using a bacterially expressed ZEBRA protein as antigen. Utilizing this technique, we evaluated the humoral response to ZEBRA antigen in 38 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 134 subjects with an asymptomatic HIV 1 infection. The control group consisted of 40 healthy adult blood donors.
艾滋病患者及艾滋病相关综合征患者常表现出EB病毒(EBV)再激活的症状。几种EBV编码的反式作用因子可激活EBV裂解周期,其中一种名为ZEBRA(BamHI Z EBV复制激活因子)的因子控制着EBV从潜伏周期向增殖周期的转变。我们在此描述一种简单的酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)试验,该试验使用细菌表达的ZEBRA蛋白作为抗原。利用这项技术,我们评估了38例鼻咽癌患者和134例无症状HIV-1感染受试者对ZEBRA抗原的体液免疫反应。对照组由40名健康成年献血者组成。
