EBV Zebra Transactivator PDF Print E-mail

A monoclonal antibody that demonstrates significant potential as a research and/or diagnostic tool (virology, cancer research, immune-biology)

Introduction

The ZEBRA transactivator is an Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) protein transactivator controlling the switch of the viral cycle from a latent to productive phase. The Zebra transactivator acts by binding to the promoters of genes involved in lytic DNA replication and activating their transcription. This protein transactivator demonstrates significant potential within a research environment (virology, cancer research, immune-biology) as well as in diagnostics.
