Comments:
Epstein-Barr Virus Encoded RNA (EBER) is intended for the detection
of latent EBV infection by in situ hybridization on formalin fixed
paraffin-embedded sections. The Epstein-Barr peptide nucleic acid
(PNA) probe is complementary to the two nuclear EBER RNAs encoded by
Epstein-Barr virus.
