- A study was conducted to explore the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies in diagnosing and predicting outcomes in Moroccan children with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), an area previously under-researched.
- The research compared different antibody types: IgG against ZEBRA protein and two synthetic peptides, and IgA against early and viral capsid antigens, analyzing samples from 255 patients and 226 healthy individuals.
- Findings revealed that IgG-ZEBRA is a promising diagnostic and prognostic marker for children with NPC, as they had low levels of IgA antibodies, and the behavior of IgG-ZEBRA levels differed in patients based on their clinical status.
