Vaccine against Epstein-Barr Virus

Description

The nucleotide sequence of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) DNA which codes for outer surface viral proteins has been determined. Fragments of the DNA have been isolated and cloned into a vector which, when placed in a host organism, express proteins which when used to immunize rabbits generate antibody which reacts with the surface proteins of virus infected cells. These proteins are useful for preparation of a vaccine for EBV.
