Article Synopsis
- Identifying cells infected by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is crucial for understanding the disease's development, creating treatment plans, and predicting patient outcomes.
- The study utilized the PrimeFlow™ RNA Assay Kit to detect EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) in various patient groups, including those with chronic active EBV disease and other EBV-related disorders.
- Findings revealed that patients with chronic active EBV disease showed widespread infection in T and NK cells, while other disorders demonstrated a mix of infected cell types, indicating that EBV may affect multiple cell types beyond just B cells.
