EBV EBNA-2 Peptide Pool
€277.50*
Description
The EBV EBNA-2 Peptide Pool from peptides&elephants is designed for reliable stimulation and detection of EBV-specific T-cell responses in immunological research. The pool consists of 119 overlapping peptides (15-mers with an 11-amino-acid overlap) spanning Epstein–Barr nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) from Epstein–Barr virus strain B95-8 (UniProt ID: P12978). The Epstein-Barr virus is also known as Human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4).
EBNA2 is one of the earliest viral proteins expressed after infection of B cells and acts as a central transcriptional regulator that reprograms host and viral gene expression. Through interactions with numerous sites in the host genome, EBNA2 cooperates with EBNA-LP to activate key cellular pathways, including transient activation of the MYC proto-oncogene, which drives early B-cell proliferation and supports survival during the establishment of EBV latency.
EBNA2 activity also contributes to the transition from the initial Wp promoter–driven transcription toward the Cp promoter–controlled latency program IIb, in which multiple EBV nuclear antigens are expressed from a polycistronic transcript. This shift allows the virus to balance rapid proliferation with controlled persistence.

Applications
Suitable for multiple T-cell–based assays, including:
- ELISpot assays
- Intracellular cytokine staining (ICS)
- FluoroSpot assays
- T-cell proliferation assays
- Immune monitoring in EBV research
Capacity
One unit allows the stimulation of 2.5 × 10⁸ cells.
The EBV EBNA-2 Peptide Pool provides a comprehensive tool for studying EBV-specific immune responses, latency establishment, and virus-host interactions in basic and translational research.
