Double diffusion tests in gel were employed for studies of reactions between infectious mononucleosis sera and extracts of bovine, sheep and equine erythrocyte stromata. The extracts were obtained by ultrasonication of stromata prepared from trypsin-digested erythrocytes. The reaction with bovine stroma extract was composed, in many instances, of two lines. A single line was observed in reactions with sheep and equine stroma extracts. This line merged into a reaction of partial or complete identy with one of the lines formed with bovine stroma extract. Evidence was obtained that some infectioous mononucleosis sera may contain heterophile (Paul-Bunnell) antibodies belonging to IgG class in addition to those of IgM nature.

Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Levels in Pediatric Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease: A Retrospective Observational Analysis.
Immun Inflamm Dis
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, NHO Okayama Medical Center, Okayama, Japan.
Aim: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) rarely affects pediatric patients and is characterized by prolonged fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of KFD remains challenging and often requires an invasive biopsy. Low serum alkaline phosphatase levels have frequently been observed in patients with KFD; however, the clinical significance of low serum alkaline phosphatase levels remains unclear.

Clinical lab, Chengde central Hospital, Chengde, China.
Background: Exanthematous drug eruption and infectious mononucleosis (IM) are both exanthematous diseases. Current research on exanthematous drug eruption and IM mainly targets identifying these disorders, the resulting differences at the metabolism level have not yet been systematically analyzed.
Materials And Methods: A total of 30 cases of exanthematous drug eruption and IM, 10 patients without exanthema and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled, 3 mL of fasting venous blood was collected, the serum metabolite content was detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics.
Multivalent MVA-vectored vaccine elicits EBV neutralizing antibodies in rhesus macaques that reduce EBV infection in humanized mice.

Article Synopsis
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is linked to various cancers and diseases, yet despite extensive research, an effective vaccine has not been licensed, largely due to past efforts focusing on a single protein.
- The study presents a new vaccine, MVA-EBV5-2, targeting five EBV entry glycoproteins, demonstrating genetic stability and the ability to produce strong immune responses in animal models.
- Results showed that this vaccine generated higher levels of neutralizing antibodies in mice and rhesus macaques compared to traditional methods, effectively reducing EBV infection in treated models.
The Impact of Acute EBV Infection on Changes in the Serum Proteome in Children-A Pilot Study.
Pathogens

Department of Infectious Diseases and Child Neurology, Karol Marcinkowski University of Medical Sciences, 60-572 Poznań, Poland.
This study investigates the impact of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection on children's proteomes across different phases of the disease, utilising seventy-nine blood samples categorised into three groups: EBV-naive patients, acute infectious mononucleosis (IM) cases, and convalescents followed up for 12 months post-IM. The aim is to identify proteins influenced by EBV infection, shedding light on the chronic processes triggered by the virus. The results reveal thirty-nine proteins distinguishing between naive patients and those with IM, including actin, lumican, peroxiredoxin-2, fibulin-1, gelsolin, and alpha-2-macroglobulin, which are involved in immune responses, cell adhesion, and inflammation.
